Hyderabad: Ruckus by DJs makes locals rush to police in Falaknuma

Falaknuma: With change in demography in Jangamet in Falaknuma, the area residents who were only habituated to hear sounds from train are now regularly pestered by new forms of noise pollution from late night events like marriages and other parties which engage band-baja and DJs.

The residents who are disturbed by this new trend have not only complained but also approached higher officials of the police department, demanding arrest of the trend.

It's the responsibility of police to control the phenomenon before this goes out of hand and hold regular patrolling in area," he added.
