Ganesh Immersion Procession Noise Raises Concerns for Delhi Zoo Animals
During Ganesh immersion processions in south-east Delhi on September 25, 2026, loud drums, DJs, and music caused noise that reached the National Zoological Park near Mathura Road. Zoo officials noted that loud sounds can unsettle animals, especially solitary carnivores like tigers. The absence of designated procession routes complicates noise control, as devotees choose various paths to artificial ponds. Green belts near the zoo provide some noise screening, and officials urge citizen self-discipline and government measures to reduce noise near animal enclosures.
