To,
The Editor,
The Hindustan Times,
Plot No.-08, Mayur Vihar,
Malad (E).
Mumbai : 400060.

Subject : Noise Pollution on Hill Road.

Dear Sir,
                 Through the esteemed column of your newspaper, I want to draw the attention of the authorities towards the noise created by loudspeakers & vehicles in this colony. Not a single day passes, when one cannot escape from the noisy atmosphere. The sound of loudspeakers at the time of religious ceremonies, parties or wedding ceremonies adds to the noise in the area. People use the loudspeakers at a high volume, which harms our ears and other sensitive parts of the body. It impacts people of all age group but creates more problem for old age group & babies. The vehicular pollution too disturbs our health. The patients are unable to have a wink of sleep. The attention of  the students is affected due to loud noise, & thus puts a direct impact on their health & studies.
                        I request the authorities to take remedial steps in this regard & instruct to use the loudspeakers at a lower pitch within the allotted time period. This will definitely bring a relief to all & the residents would be protected.
                      The residents of our locality would thank all the authorities, if necessary steps are taken at the earliest.

                Thank you.

  
Yours truly,
ABC
