Test noise levels at helipads: HC

In response to a PIL filed by Awaaz foundation, the Bombay high court, on Thursday, directed for the constitution of a committee with representatives from the BMC, the MPCB and other relevant departments to examine the noise levels at helipads.

The committee has been asked to record the noise levels and inform the court whether or not they are within the statutory limits prescribed. The PIL has been adjourned for four weeks.

The original PIL had pointed out the alarming noise levels in the city as a result of which the court had directed the identification  of silence zones in Mumbai.
