SC stays Bombay HC order banning use of loudspeakers

OUR CORRESPONDENT

NEW DELHI: Loudspeakers can blare in Mum- bai during the Ganapati Visarjan festivities tomorrow, with the Supreme Court on Mon- day staying a High Court order banning their use in the state. The Bombay High Court on September 1 had granted an interim stay to a recent amend- ment to the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules that led to the elimination of 1,573 notified ‘silence zones’ in Mumbai ahead of festive season. A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandra- chud issued notice to the social activists on a plea of state government and stayed the September 1 order of high court. It sought a reply from the activists in favour of the ban within two weeks and restrained the high court from passing any further orders in the matter. Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for state government, said the high court has erred in staying the rules which can- not be done. “If these all India rules are implemented in a literal sense, then you cannot use loudspeakers near a small clinic, school or even court prem- ises which will virtually make the entire country go silent,” Mehta said. Senior advocate C U Singh, appearing for some social activists, said the high court was justified in staying the rules and even the apex court has in the past stayed them. The bench asked Singh as to what will be the impact of this ban in the state. The senior advocate said then the govern- ment allow the processions during Ganesh Visarjan revelry with loudspeakers being played. Mehta said if we go strictly by these nation- wide rules, then no function can be held even at the Supreme Court lawns. The bench said it will look into the matter. The high court had held that the amend- ment was prima facie “unconstitutional” and violated the right to life guaranteed by Article 21 of the Constitution. Its stay order had restored the “position prior to August 10 notification (amending the rules)”. On August 10, the Centre had issued a noti- fication amending the rules, making state gov- ernments responsible for specifically notifying silence zones in their jurisdiction. Will work to reduce people’s dependence on medicines: Choubey OUR CORRESPONDENT

NEW DELHI: Ashwini Kumar Choubey, who assumed charge as the Minister of State for Health on Monday, said that enhancing aware- ness on public health and reducing people’s dependence on “medicines and needles” will be high on his agenda. He stressed that cleanliness and good health were linked and vowed to take forward the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mission of a clean and healthy India with dedication. “My motto will be to spread awareness about public health so that people’s depen- dence on medicines and needles is reduced,” Choubey said. Terming as unfortunate the death of 49 infants in a month in the Farrukhabad district hospital in Uttar Pradesh, Chowbey said that the government will fight these challenges. Most of the children died from “perinatal asphyxia”, a condition in which the child cannot breathe properly, officials said today. Choubey, a prominent Brahmin face from Bihar, performed an elaborate puja and took charge amid chantings of sacred hymns. He immediately got down to work by signing a file relating to laying the foundation stone of a new medical college at Nahaan in Shimla. Elected to the Bihar Legislative Assembly for five consecutive terms, Choubey, 64, repre- sents Bihar’s Buxar in the Lok Sabha and was a member of the Parliamentary Committee on Estimates, Standing Committee on Energy, and Consultative Committee on Health and Fam- ily Welfare. He is also a member of Central Silk Board. Choubey is known for the slogan “Ghar- ghar me ho shouchalaya ka nirman, tabhi hoga ladli bitiya ka kanyadaan” and helped in con- structing 11,000 toilets for Mahadalit families in Bihar. Choubey held portfolios such as Urban Development, PHED and Health both in NDA I (2005-2010) and NDA II (2010-2013). 6 nation mp MILLENNIUM POST | New Delhi | Tuesday, 5 September, 2017 FSL director suspended for ‘wrong’ Explore possibility of banning report on PETN in UP Assembly Blue Whale game: HC to Govt OUR CORRESPONDENT LUCKNOW: A red-faced Uttar Pradesh government on Mon- OUR CORRESPONDENT cials present at the court said day suspended the director of they were keeping a close watch the state forensic laboratory MADURAI: Taking a serious and taking steps to freeze the here over an allegedly "mislead- view of the Blue Whale Chal- game. ing" report which held that the lenge game, the Madras High Warning had been issued suspicious substance recovered Court on Monday directed the against those sharing and from the state Assembly on July Central and Tamil Nadu gov- downloading the "deadly" 12 was highly explosive PETN, ernments to explore possibili- online game, they added. an official said. ties of banning it.
