Sound pollution

Syed Muhammed Azim, Ferozshah Colony, Pahartali, Chittagong
It is one of the worst forms of environmental pollution. It has great impact on the human body and mind. But it seems that some unscrupulous people are completely oblivious to this fact. They play loudspeaker literally whenever and wherever they want-- thanks to the inaction of the law enforcement agencies and lack of relevant laws. They torture the innocent people in the name of advertisement, cultural activities etc. Laws should bar playing loudspeakers after 10.00pm for any purpose excepting some extraordinary cases so that infants, ailing and old people, pregnant women, etc are not disturbed.
