Then on August 5, the Pollution Control Board inspected the noise pollution caused by ringing the bell in the temple. During the investigation, the temple bell produced a sound of 70 decibels. According to the notice issued to the society, compliance with the provisions of the Noise Pollution Rules, 2000 should be ensured so that people do not face problems due to the noise of the bells. A reply has also been sought from the society on the notice.
Public outrage over the notice
This notice is continuously going viral on social media, on which people are expressing their displeasure.
