A demand for festivals without DJs and high-powered loudspeakers is gaining support. This is due to concerns over health hazards.

Activists are speaking out against the use of high-decibel sound systems during festivities, citing noise pollution. One prominent voice is Vidyanad Bapat, who is based in Pune.

Further details on this issue are available from the source, including the involvement of Maharashtra Ministers who are calling for DJ-free festivals.
