Yuva Sena treasurer arrested for flouting noise pollution norms

The treasurer of the Yuva Sena was arrested on Tuesday morning for flouting noise pollution norms during a music show he organised in Dadar's Shivaji Park, which is a notified silence zone, on Saturday.

"Amey Ghole was arrested at 10 am and produced before a magistrate. He was granted bail after furnishing a bond of Rs 5,000. He has been booked under the Environment Protection Act, 1986, and the Bombay Police Act, 1951, and fined for creating noise pollution. The noise levels had crossed 102 decibles," said Dhananjay Kulkarni, DCP Zone 5. Ghole did not have permission to organise the event in the central Mumbai area, a police officer said. An FIR was registered against him on Sunday after he went ahead with the programme without seeking the requisite permission, the officer added. Renowned drummer Sivamani performed at the programme. Mayor Sunil Prabhu, Shiv Sena Chief Executive Uddhav Thackeray and Yuva Sena Chief Aditya Thackeray were in attendance.
