Menace of DJ/Loudspeakers in Societies

[Vinod Sharma]

Dear Esteemed Members,

Last night there was a Sangeet and Cocktail function in our society Jai Bhawani CGHS Sector-22 Dwarka. The drinks/DJ/Dance /Loudspeakers went on till about 12.30 AM despite protests by residents of the society and neihgbouring Societies. The noisy generator emitting pollution also went on till around1.30 AM. Five calls made to the PCR by different residents from 11.35 PM tonwards and there was no response  from the Police Control Room. 

 

The Ad-hoc committee of the society is learnt to have permitted this function by the resident-tenant despite a notice put up on the notice board of the society that no such function will take place in the society. The society has no earmarked space for such functions and society's park was used. It is also learnt that the resident had obtained written permission from SHO sector-23 Police station in advance.

 

Esteemed members may please suggest how the ordinary residents should  handle such situations in future. Is it within the rightful domain of Police to permit private functions in the Society Complex?

Regards

Vinod Sharma

Jai Bhawani CGHS

Vinod, This is atrocious - some private party with DJ and drinking went on late into the night with the written permission of police ?? Unbelievable. I am sure these guys would have submitted some vague letter and as usual the police would have endorsed their stamp confirming receipt of the letter (which these guys may be calling it as ""PERMISSION""). As far as I know, the police has no powers to grant permission and all noise making stuff should end at 10 pm whether inside the colony or outside the colony. The power of giving permission rest with certain notified officials like DC, Magistrate etc. surely not to police.  Secondly, even if police possess such power, I don't think they have power to grant permission to play loud music beyond 10 pm. Did they also obtain permission for serving liquor publicly  ? Our experience with our society is people are sensitive and in 1-2 cases, when the music was extending beyond the time limit, immediately upon bringing to their notice, it was switched off.   Rama --- On Wed, 11/28/12, Vinod Sharma <vino...@gmail.com> wrote:

I fully agree with Ramaji tjhat these giuys must have given an application informing them and the must have been received by the police which must have been taken for granted.
Secondly,Can the police over rule hon'ble Supreme court orders??I doubt it ?Hence misinterpretition is the case.The permissions should be asked from these guys who indulged in this by the Mgmnt of the Society.
Thirdly ,Why the police never reacted needs to be checked with them.
Fourthly,Why did Mgmnt of d society give permission?Needs to be checked and verified?
Vinodji,Did you check with the Mgmnt of your Society.
Thanx n Rgds

As regards no response from PCR , have lodged complaints withb the Police Commissioner and DCP -PCR. Let's see if they respond. Members of the Ad-hoc committee were offering sympathy with the complaining residents and expressing their helplessness in stopping the menace. The person who organised the function was said to be having close links with the political leaders and police................

Vinodji,Having any kind of links does not give any right to anyone to disturb the peace of others for their own pleasure or be undignified in any form.
As far as the police is concerned ,they are the protectors of law and Not the protectors of Law Breakers!!
Must take up the matter through DF who has done such a commendable job in standing by such issues.We all are there to support you in all forms.

All the socities of CGHS and DDA Pocket RWA must put a CODE of CONDUCT or Code of Ethics which must be DULY APPROVED by General Body.- Draft was duly shared in the forum earlier available on the net.
These kind of issues to be incorporated and take measures to resolve within 4 walls, if possible.
Ofcourse those who are not abiding must be dealt FIRMLY.
Please send the PCR Call Date, Time and Mobile No of the people who called PCR- DF will raise it with DCP PCR.

Vinod, I did a quick reading on the Noise Pollution Rules generally for information. There are few officers who are called designated authority (DCs, SDMs, ACP etc.). Rules prescribe noise levels for each zone and any violation beyond the prescribed limit is punishable (action will be initiated). Noise pollution prohibited between 10 pm to 6 am (this is coming from the SC directions). The rule makers diluted it stating that with specific orders, it can be allowed for cultural/ religious purposes for 15 days in a calender year ( I can't make out what the intention is and the language is quite vague and loose).  Another vague exemption given to ""closed premises for communication within, e.g. auditoria, conference rooms, community halls and banquet halls"". This was not there earlier but was brought in as an amendment. I think the right step would be to call a residents meeting, discuss the nuisance and strictly enforce that no private function in public area, no loud music beyond 10 pm inside the flats which may cause nuisance to neighbours. If someone want to bring outside gensets, ask them to place it outside the boundary and use long cables.  Rama

Reji, This looks strange - normally the Sector 23 police station is quite active. Last month, few labourers were using a machine at around 11 pm for our basement flooring work - the beat constable and team landed up. It was nice on their part when they said, "if you make noise like this at this time, working class common man's sleep/ rest will get affected and told the labourers to shut down the noise making machine". This happened without anyone complaining.  If they don't land up despite various calls and crying foul, I am sure the host is powerful enough to keep the police away despite many calls.  Rama --- On Thu, 11/29/12, REJIMON C K <reji...@gmail.com> wrote:
