The use of loudspeaker should be stopped at specific times of the day

CHAKWAL: Noise pollution creates disturbance, loss of sleep, lack of rest and chaos. It is unsafe to the physical and the emotional wellness of individuals.

Frequent loud noises badly influence the working proficiency of people. Persistent noise pollution causes loss of hearing. The ever increasing number of vehicles on the streets, quick development of manufacturing plants, developmental work, amplifiers that are utilised on different events, rock and other popular music and so forth are different components causing this commotion.

The use of loudspeaker should be stopped at specific times of the day. The public needs to be more aware and cooperative against the danger of noise pollution because without public cooperation the authorities cannot make much of a difference. The urge the authorities concerned will take steps to stop noise pollution. Noise pollution is a big evil and it should either be stopped fully or minimised.
