No use of loud DJs during Ganeshotsava celebrations

Madikeri, Aug. 14: No use of loud DJs during Ganeshotsava celebrations; strict action will be taken if they are used beyond the rules, District Superintendent of Police K. Ramarajan has warned the Ganapati Utsav committees.He was speaking at a meeting of Ganeshotsava committee leaders and Light and Sounds owners, which was organized to provide information about the ill effects of using DJs in the city's Gowda community. He is not saying that loud speakers should not be used during Ganeshotsava celebrations; but people should not be disturbed by loud noise using loudspeakers. Loud noise has an adverse effect on the ears and heart and also causes mental distress. Therefore, the noise level should be kept under control. If the rules are violated, we will not disrupt the procession, but rather we will seize the loudspeaker vehicle after the procession ends and take action. The SP said that he would not give in to any pressure in this matter and that the safety of the citizens is most important to him.

Ganeshotsava should be celebrated with devotion. It should be celebrated in a way that will set an example for the next generation. No one should be inconvenienced by this celebration. Therefore, festival committees should celebrate the festival with social responsibility, Ramarajan said.

‘Self-awareness is essential’

Additional Superintendent of Police Barike Dinesh Kumar said that in addition to following the law regarding the use of DJs, festival committees should also be aware of the problems caused by loud DJs and become self-aware. Today, heart attack cases are increasing everywhere. Loud DJs also cause problems for the heart. Therefore, he suggested that festival committees should say goodbye to the use of loud DJs in the interest of everyone’s health. 90 decibels is good

Due to the adverse health effects of using a loud DJ, Dr. Srikanth, an ENT specialist at the medical college, said that noise levels above 90 decibels can have adverse health effects. Excessive noise damages the eardrum. Later, nerves also get affected, but nerves cannot be repaired. Excessive noise can cause cardiac arrest, brain hemorrhage and even death, said Srikanth.

Madikeri DySP Suraj was present on the stage. City Circle Inspector Raju compered the program.

After the meeting, information was given to the leaders of the festival committees through a demonstration about the level of noise that can be used and what should not be used. It was advised to use only loudspeakers up to 90 decibels.
