[…] Before complaining try to take a photo/video of pandals and processions violating noise limits. Don’t forget to take a pic of their banner or name too. Even if the Loud Speaker deadline has been extended upto 12 midnight for any festival, you can still complain about NOISE over 45 db at any time during the day or night, especially near silence zones like schools, hospitals, religious places and courts.
