Sound pollution at DITF
Photo: STAR
A few days ago I visited DITF with my mother. The fair covers a big area. Moving from stall to stall is actually difficult for the aged. Young people also get tired if they want to visit every stall of the fair. The overall arrangement for the fair was satisfactory but the objectionable and disturbing thing was the sound pollution created through the mikes and big speakers for advertisement of commodities inside the fair. Even I was facing difficulty to talk to the sellers as I had to shout to bargain with them. The shop owners expressed their anger as well and informed me that they complained against this excessive harsh sound but the authorities did nothing to stop it.
