Noise pollution has become an inevitable part of our life. Whether we like it or not, we have to tolerate it. We can’t escape it. Here I am going to talk about the situation when there was too much noise. A religious pension which we call Jagrata or Jagran was held last Sunday in my neighborhood. In suspension people sing hymns and chants in praise of God and God says the whole night long. The function started at 8pm and went up 5am. There is a law against using loudspeaker after 10pm but people don’t obey it by the law in the name of religion. They do not realize that some people might be suffering from excessive noise. I was not able to sleep the whole night. I closed all windows of my home house to reduce that sound but it did not make any difference. Then I put air plugs in my ears but that too did not work. There might have been many other people who suffered like I did that night. I am not against any religious event but I am definitely against using the loudspeaker at 10pm. Such law should be implemented more strictly and I believe that the use of pressure horns also must be restricted. Noise pollution has a negative effect on our mental health as well as physical health. It can lead to hearing impairment, fatigue, heart problem, insomnia, anxiety, depression and so on. It can also reduce the work efficiency. One of my uncles has come from Canada and tells me that in Canada people are not using horns unnecessarily and still the traffic runs very smoothly. I hope we all realize the manoeuver of noise pollution and do our bit to reduce it from our lives.

Noise pollution has become an inevitable part of our lives. Whether we like it or not, we have to tolerate it. We can't escape it. Here I am going to talk about the situation when there was too much noise. A religious event, which we call Jagrata or Jagran, was held last Sunday in my neighborhood. In this event, people sing hymns and chants in praise of God and continue the whole night long. The function started at 8 PM and went on until 5 AM. There is a law against using loudspeakers after 10 PM, but people don't obey this law in the name of religion. They do not realize that some people might be suffering from excessive noise. I was not able to sleep the whole night. I closed all the windows of my house to reduce the sound, but it did not make any difference. Then I put earplugs in my ears, but that too did not work. There might have been many other people who suffered like I did that night. I am not against any religious event, but I am definitely against using loudspeakers after 10 PM. Such laws should be implemented more strictly, and I believe that the use of pressure horns must also be restricted. Noise pollution has a negative effect on our mental health as well as physical health. It can lead to hearing impairment, fatigue, heart problems, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and so on. It can also reduce work efficiency. One of my uncles has come from Canada and tells me that in Canada, people do not use horns unnecessarily, and still, the traffic runs very smoothly. I hope we all realize the impact of noise pollution and do our part to reduce it in our lives.
