Hovering choppers will raise noise levels to 100 dB say activists

should helipads be allowed on private buildings in the coastal city of Mumbai? Would the din from helicopters make the city noisier? These are the questions the Maharashtra coastal zone management authority has to decide. On August 4 the authority called a meeting with those lobbying for private helipads and anti-noise pollution activists.

At the end of the meeting, activists alleged the authority is under the influence of the helipad lobby.
