MLA writes to DCP seeking action against late-night firecracker bursting
Rajajinagar MLA S. Suresh Kumar has formally requested police intervention to stop the recurring late-night bursting of firecrackers in residential areas. The MLA noted that while festival-related noise is expected, the daily disturbance is negatively impacting the quality of life for his constituents.
Why it matters
The issue highlights the tension between local cultural practices and urban noise pollution regulations.
S. Suresh Kumar, Rajajinagar MLA, has urged the police to take action against the repeated bursting of firecrackers late at night in residential areas of his constituency, stating that the practice is causing inconvenience to residents.
In a letter to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, West Division, Mr. Kumar said firecrackers were being burst regularly in the jurisdiction of two police stations in his constituency, particularly after 9 p.m., causing disturbance to the residents of those localities.
He said that bursting crackers during New Year, Eid and other religious or national festivals could be understood as part of the celebrations. However, the daily late-night bursting of firecrackers was causing considerable inconvenience to residents and should not be allowed, he said.
