Public nuisance
I am a resident of Iqbal Road, Mohammadpur. Many educational institutions have been set up in the locality over the years, from schools to universities. Since these are housed in residences meant for families, these institutions cannot provide all amenities necessary to organise various programmes and functions, not even a decent auditorium to host programmes and functions with a proper sound control system. On the 1st of November the residents of Iqbal Road witnessed one such celebration, hosted by a private university in the locality, celebrating its 5th founding anniversary. The local field was used to host this day-long programme.
The noises started early in the morning and wanton merry-making continued till late evening. Hosting of similar programmes and functions have become a regular thing in the area and the same field is used for the purpose. It really baffles me how this level of noise pollution, total lack of decency and civic sense, total disregard for the children, the old and the ill can be allowed by all concerned. How can the faculty and management of these institutions plan and allow such functions which turn out to be nothing but public nuisance?
I can particularly write about my old parents, myself, and a relative nearby, for whom the noise pollution became unbearable and made us ill and disgusted.
Please, my request to all concerned, come forward and do something to stop this nuisance.
