Curb noise pollution, Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjay Pandey tells builders

He told the construction sector it would have to follow rules and time norms as laid down by the law and appealed to them to not give the police a chance to pull them up for violations

Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjay Pandey on Sunday asked builders and construction contractors to rein in noise pollution and provide relief to the people of the metropolis. Addressing people via a Facebook Live session, Pandey, who was appointed to the top post recently, said construction activities were important but “at the same time, citizens should at least have a noise-free Sunday or noise-free nights”.

He told the construction sector it would have to follow rules and time norms as laid down by the law and appealed to them to not give the police a chance to pull them up for violations. “You (those from the construction sector) are also citizens of Mumbai. You won’t like it if somebody constantly hammers in your midst and makes it difficult for you to talk to your kin. I’m sure builders and contractors are listening to this and so are policemen, who have been instructed to do what they need to do,” Pandey said.

Announcing an important step, the commissioner said there should be a diary in every senior citizen’s house that beat constables, sub-inspectors and inspectors will have to sign post inspection, adding that the step would help the force identify those in need in this segment. He promised senior citizens that they would soon experience a positive change from this and similar steps, and asked them to contact the commissioner’s Whatsapp number for grievances.
