Chandigarh Police to Monitor Noise and Air Pollution on Diwali Night
The Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee (CPCC) has directed police to monitor noise levels across the city on Diwali night, November 8, comparing them with normal-day readings from November 1. Noise will be measured hourly from 6 pm to midnight in all police jurisdictions. Concurrently, air quality will be assessed through eight monitoring stations, including automatic and manual setups, tracking pollutants and heavy metals linked to firecrackers. Last year, noise and air pollution notably increased, with Sector 22 recording the highest noise levels.
