NGT directs Pune police to submit report on last year's Ganesh festival noise violations
Pune: The western bench of the National Green Tribunal (NGT), during a hearing on August 13, directed Pune police to submit a comprehensive report detailing the actions taken to address noise pollution violations during last year's Ganesh festival. NGT directs Pune police to submit report on last year's Ganesh festival noise violations The directive follows an execution application filed by Pune-based audiologist Dr Kalyani Mandke through Advocate Maitreya Ghorpade. Mandke alleged that the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) and police were directed to publish a list of violators within seven days of the festival's conclusion, but they failed to do so. The matter is scheduled for the next hearing on August 22. The NGT, in its judgment dated August 30, 2024, issued multiple directives to curb noise levels during the Ganesh festival. The NGT directed the MPCB and police to ensure real-time noise monitoring at all pandals and display the readings with permissible limits prominently at at least two locations, besides instructing authorities to limit the dhol-tasha group to 30 members and ban the use of DJ and toll systems. Following the order, the noise level was monitored at 200 Ganesh pandals during the festival last year. In the present application, it has been alleged that several of these directives have not been implemented by the Pune police commissioner and the MPCB. This includes non-disclosure of action taken by police on violators and also from the MPCB. During the hearing on August 13, a bench comprising Justice Dinesh Kumar Singh (judicial member) and Dr Vijay Kulkarni (expert member) issued notices to all respondents, making them returnable before the next hearing date. While counsel representing the state of Maharashtra and the MPCB accepted the notices on behalf of their clients, the tribunal ordered that notices to the remaining respondents be served directly by the registry. Advocate Ghorpade said, 'Based on our complaint, the NGT had issued a landmark order on noise pollution monitoring during last year's Ganesh festival. For the first time, real-time monitoring was carried out at 200 Ganesh pandals, which was commendable work by the MPCB. However, the board was directed to publish a list of pandals violating noise pollution norms within seven days of the festival's conclusion, which did not happen.' 'Also, no significant awareness programmes were conducted throughout the year. This is why we have filed the execution application. We believe the NGT will take an appropriate decision that will help curb noise pollution during the Ganesh festival,' he said. A senior police officer requesting anonymity said, 'We will get more information about the order and appropriate action will be taken.'

Dharmasthala burials case: It's an international conspiracy, says BJP
Bengaluru: Opposition BJP Thursday claimed the investigation into alleged mass murders in Dharmasthala was part of another attempt to defame and demean Hindu religious institutions and alleged a network of "urban Naxals and foreign nationals" was behind the conspiracy. During a half-hour debate in the assembly on the case, BJP members said vested interests were attempting to hurt Hindu sentiments. However, home minister G Parameshwara insisted the special investigation team (SIT) was formed to get to the truth "and not play politics" and that a detailed reply would be presented Monday. Opposition leader R Ashoka called it "a national conspiracy". "They began with Tirupati with the seven hills, then went on to Shani Shingnapura and reached Sabarimala, where women were encouraged to enter the premises. Now, the toolkit is trying to defame Dharmasthala Manjunatha temple and the trust," Ashoka said.

He accused conspirators of using the 2012 Soujanya murder case, in which the accused was released for lack of evidence, as an excuse to defame Dharmasthala temple and its trust. "A single remark of alleged communal disharmony against a certain community results in our Hindu workers being booked and sent to jail. But when it comes to remarks posted on social media hurting Hindu sentiments, not a single case is booked," he said. Ashoka accused the govt of being party to efforts to defame Hindu society and demanded that the administration present an interim report on the special investigation team's (SIT) probe. He also called for disclosure of the man behind the mask who is leading investigators to the alleged mass burial sites. BJP sought a narco-analysis test on the masked man and demanded that the investigation be handed over to National Investigation Agency (NIA), alleging the involvement of foreign funding for "small-time accusers" and YouTubers. In response, Parameshwara said: "We have as much faith and belief as you, or even more, in Dharmasthala Manjunatha and the Dharmadhikari Veerendra Hegde's philanthropic and religious efforts. We only want to get to the bottom of the truth." Deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar said the govt stood firmly with the Dharmasthala temple and its trust, and that the probe was intended to put all allegations permanently to rest.
