The Patna High Court recently expressed serious concern regarding the deteriorating air quality and rising noise levels in the city. Consequently, the court directed the BSPCB to implement immediate Patna pollution control measures. Justice Rajiv Roy emphasized that the lack of data on noise violations indicates a failure in regulatory enforcement.
The court specifically summoned police officials for failing to provide data on fines related to illegal DJ usage. Furthermore, the court highlighted that burning garbage and dry leaves in public remains a significant health hazard. Therefore, authorities must strictly comply with the National Green Tribunal's directives. The member secretary of the BSPCB was instructed to convene a high-level meeting to prepare a comprehensive action plan.
High noise levels and poor AQI contribute significantly to respiratory and cardiovascular issues among the local population. Moreover, the court noted that the current enforcement of noise pollution regulations is insufficient. This lack of oversight allows violators to operate beyond permissible time limits. Thus, a robust strategy must safeguard public health before the next hearing on April 10.
Q1: What specific actions did the Patna High Court direct regarding noise pollution?
The court ordered the BSPCB to take stringent action against violators and summoned police officials to explain enforcement failures.
Q2: Who is responsible for preparing the new pollution action plan?
The BSPCB member secretary must convene a meeting with the amicus curiae and state counsel to finalize a comprehensive plan for the city.
