Noise pollution

Grasha Khuzdar is facing a growing issue of noise pollution, mainly due to loudspeakers installed on tractors. While these tractors are mainly used be people working in the fields who are listening to music during their workday, the sound is excessively loud and becomes a source of constant disturbance.

These workers are rarely cognizant of whether a funeral procession is going on, or congregational prayers are being held. Tractor drivers play their music at full volume, even when passing near schools and homes.

This unchecked noise from morning to night leads to sleep disruption, stress, and general unease among residents. Authorities must take urgent action, and drivers should be instructed to lower volumes in populated areas. If necessary, their loudspeakers should be confiscated on grounds of public disturbance.
