The Delhi police have for the first time started a campaign for filing penalties (challan) under noise pollution in the national capital. For the purpose, the Delhi police are using sound level metres. The sound level metre has a sensor, which catches the sounds and checks its measurement in Decibels (dB). According to the Delhi police notification, the parameters for the noise pollution are fixed. The challans are being issued by the police under the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules 2020.
