In its final verdict, Bombay High Court on Friday announced a complete ban on the use of DJ or sound systems during Ganpati Visarjan (immersion) because of the increasing noise pollution.

Earlier, while hearing the petition to release ban on sound systems during the celebration of immersion, Bombay HC had maintained its position and said that festivals will continue to come but the problem of noise pollution cannot be ignored.
