Like during other festivals, the West Bengal Pollution Control Board (WBPCB) had monitored noise pollution caused by indiscriminate use of loudspeakers and banned firecrackers during Kali Puja & Dipawali festivals held on 24.10.2003 and 25.10.2003.

In order to receive public complaints, a central Control Room was set up at Paribesh Bhawan in both the days from evening to late night. Besides control rooms were set up in the Regional Offices of the Board at Haldia, Hooghly, Barrackpore, Durgapur, Asansol and Siliguri.

The details of the complaints received by WBPCB during the years 2002 and 2003 are furnished below.

This year, the State Board had received 70 complaints during the days of Kali Puja and Dipawali. Violators will be called for hearing at the Board’s office at Paribesh Bhawan for regulatory action.
