Mumbai Police have booked 568 people and organisations for violating noise pollution control rules during the Diwali festival even as environmentalists and activists called for more efforts to check the menace.
Police have cracked the whip on the violators of the Bombay High Court and central government norms on noise pollution and the ban on use of loudspeakers during the Diwali festival.
A senior police official told IANS Sunday that the violators were ordered to deposit between Rs.1,200 to Rs.5,000, which will be adjusted against a penalty by local courts. Failure to pay up could result in a higher penalty or further action by the courts.
