This is not the kind of midnight menace expected from a place that is suppose to bring peace.

In Karnataka, the Karnataka Police Act, 1963, and the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) have rules and regulations in place to prevent noise pollution and disturbance caused by loud sounds in public gatherings, especially during the nighttime.

As per the KSPCB guidelines, the permissible noise level for residential areas during the daytime is 55 decibels, while during the nighttime, it is 45 decibels. For commercial areas, the permissible noise level during the daytime is 65 decibels, while during the nighttime, it is 55 decibels.

Playing loud sounds or music in a gathering during the nighttime that causes disturbance to the public is considered a violation of the rules and regulations. The police can take action against the organizers of such gatherings by imposing penalties or seizing the equipment used to play loud sounds.

If you are facing such disturbance due to loud sounds in a gathering in your area, you can file a complaint with the local police station. The police will take necessary action to stop the disturbance and prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
