Ujjain police have briefed DJs and sound amplifier operators about noise rules ahead of festivals and events. Operators were warned against using loudspeakers after 10 PM, as per the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000. A bond was taken from each DJ operator to ensure compliance with guidelines. Station house officers emphasized the need for strict adherence to noise pollution rules and using sound amplifiers only as per the prescribed permissions and conditions.
Loudspeakers and PA systems are generally restricted from 10 PM to 6 AM, except for certain exemptions. Operators were instructed not to create noise pollution near hospitals and other declared Silence Zones, which can extend up to 100 meters around healthcare institutions. Violations could result in action as per the rules, with the sound source level in public places required to stay within 10 dB(A) of the ambient noise standard, or 75 dB(A) if lower.
