Low on crackers, high on noise [1]

NOISE LEVELS CROSSED 100 DB IN MANY AREAS; KOREGAON PARK NOISIEST

Pune: Firecracker traders may have reported a drop in sales this Diwali, but the city still had a deafening blast on Sunday evening, with noise levels breaching the permissible barrier of 55 decibels (dB) in many areas, and also crossing last year’s high. The 10 pm deadline for bursting crackers was also conveniently ignored in most areas.
