PCB officials said after undertaking many exercises to curb noise pollution, the survey result seemed less satisfactory. But it seems that the exercise had “very little effect” on the noise pollution graph. Kaushal Raj Sharma, Lucknow district magistrate, said, “A lot more has to be done to bring down noise pollution levels. We will also be more vigilant to curb use of illegal loudspeakers.”“The idea behind the noise pollution check was to ascertain the city’s noise pollution level after carrying out many exercises to curb pollution,” said Sharma. Near Annexe gate number 1, a commercial area, the noise pollution level recorded was 67.4 dB.
