Though these directives have been issued by the pollution control board on the basis of a Supreme Court order of 2005, unrestrained noise and air pollution continues in Noida on Diwali in the absence of any punitive measures. The apex court order makes it mandatory for firecracker manufacturers to publish the
noise levels of crackers and safety advisories on boxes.
Officials said while the maximum noise limit for a cracker is 125 decibels, it is 105 decibels for a series of crackers. "Anybody found in gross violation of these limits will be punished. But monitoring is done more for ensuring prevention rather than punitive action," said Atulesh Yadav, regional head, UPPCB-Noida.
Officials added that in the absence of state-of-the-art noise monitoring devices, it is difficult to pinpoint the sources of sound. In this scenario, focus is laid on prohibiting sale of crackers manufactured in violation of guidelines.
Even as preparations are afoot for setting up firecracker shops in the city, the UPPCB regional office said that special surveillance squads are being formed to keep a check on sale of crackers that do not meet the norms. Anyone found selling such crackers will be booked, said officials. The UPPCB has also claimed that it will undertake an awareness drive to control usage of crackers so that pollution levels are kept under limits.
