Nashik doctors have voiced concerns over noise pollution caused by loudspeakers during Ganeshotsav celebrations. The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has appealed to citizens to celebrate responsibly, considering public health and noise limits. Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can cause discomfort, hearing issues, sleep disruptions, and overall health concerns, especially for children and senior citizens.
In response, Nashik's IMA has formed a dhol squad - a team of medical professionals playing traditional instruments during the festival. This initiative aims to promote cultural traditions while raising awareness about controlling noise pollution during celebrations. Dr Mangesh Thete, a Central Executive Committee Member of the IMA, emphasized the importance of celebrating Ganeshotsav without compromising on public health and well-being.
He encouraged citizens to support the dhol squad and traditional musical performances, urging them to avoid excessive noise.
