Pune Police May Allow More Speakers for Ganeshotsav
The Pune Police are thinking about letting Ganesh mandals use more speakers for their festivals.
They want to allow four bass and four top speakers instead of the earlier plan of two each.
Most mandals like this idea, and the police are talking to them to make sure everyone is happy.
The police also want to make sure the sound isn't too loud and will not allow certain equipment that makes very loud noises.
They will make a final decision before the festivals.
Pune Police considering allowing 4 bass and 4 top speakers for Ganeshotsav and Dahi Handi.
80% of Ganesh mandals support the increased speaker limit.
Police aim to balance festival demands with noise pollution concerns.
Prohibited equipment includes plasma and pressure mid systems.
Final decision expected before the festivals.
