Reports Show High Noise Levels During Ganesh Visarjan in Pune and Mumbai
Reports from Pune and Mumbai highlight noise levels during the Ganesh Visarjan festivities exceeding permissible limits. In Pune, COEP's monitoring recorded noise peaking at 115.4 dB at various locations along Laxmi Road, with levels remaining high into the early morning. In Mumbai, the Awaaz Foundation noted most Ganesh mandals complied with DJ bans, but political party booths near immersion sites produced noise above 100 dB late into the night. Both reports emphasize ongoing concerns about noise pollution during the festival.
