In a significant move, the Delhi government has extended the permissible use of loudspeakers until midnight during the ongoing Navratri festivities, a departure from the usual 10 PM cutoff. This relaxation, effective from September 22 to October 3, 2025, applies to Ramlila, Durga Puja, and Dussehra events, responding to long-standing requests from organizing committees. The decision aims to balance cultural traditions with public health concerns, ensuring that celebrations can proceed without disturbing residents. However, this extension comes with strict conditions. Organizers are mandated to obtain prior permission from the Delhi Police and must adhere to noise pollution regulations, including maintaining sound levels below 45 decibels in residential areas during night time. This measure underscores the government's commitment to preserving both cultural practices and the well-being of Delhi's residents. #news #Newsone #RekhaGupta #NavratriCelebrations #Ramlila #DurgaPuja #CulturalEvents #LoudspeakerPolicy #CommunityNews #PublicDebate
