GHMC Mayor Faces Legal Trouble for Violating Noise Ban

GHMC Mayor Violates Noise Ban During Bathukamma Festival

GHMC Mayor Gadwal Vijayalakshmi faces a legal case after violating the noise pollution ban during the Bathukamma celebrations in Banjara Hills. The loud music played during the event broke the noise restrictions that were recently enforced by GHMC Commissioner Amrapali Kata. Mayor Gadwal Vijayalakshmi faces a police case for violating noise regulations at a Bathukamma event after a high-decibel music ban.

GHMC’s New Noise Ban

Last week, Commissioner Amrapali Kata introduced a new rule that bans the use of high-decibel speakers in public events. This decision aimed to reduce noise pollution and create a quieter environment during the city’s frequent festivals. While some supported this move, it also led to concerns, especially during large cultural gatherings.

Suo Moto Case Filed Against GHMC Mayor

During the Bathukamma event, loud music filled the air as the Mayor joined the festivities. This violated the noise restrictions, leading the Banjara Hills police to file a suo moto case. The Mayor is now facing legal action for breaking the rules during the festival.

Culture vs. Regulations

Bathukamma is a major festival in Telangana, known for its energetic celebrations with music and dance. However, the new noise rules created tension between maintaining tradition and adhering to city regulations. This incident has sparked debate over how the city should balance cultural activities with public laws.

Conclusion: Accountability in Action

The case against Mayor Vijayalakshmi reminds everyone that even public figures are accountable for following regulations. As the city enforces stricter rules, this serves as a warning that such violations won’t be ignored.
