1.What constitutes a 'Silent Zone' as per the Noise Pollution Control (Regulation & Control) Rules, 2000?[2]

Answer

Meaning. A silence zone is an area around certain sensitive institutions where noise must be kept lowest. It is provided for in rule 3(5) of the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000.

The rule. An area of not less than 100 metres around the following may be declared a silence zone by the State Government.

  1. Hospitals.
  2. Educational institutions.
  3. Courts.

Notification needed. By the proviso inserted in 2010, an area is not a silence zone unless the State Government notifies it as such.

Noise limits. Under the Schedule, the silence zone standard is the strictest of the four zones.

  • Day time (6 a.m. to 10 p.m.): 50 dB(A).
  • Night time (10 p.m. to 6 a.m.): 40 dB(A).

Acts punishable: rule 6. In a silence zone, a person is liable to a penalty under the Environment (Protection) Act if he does any of these.

  1. Plays music or uses sound amplifiers.
  2. Beats a drum or tom-tom, or blows a horn or trumpet.
  3. Exhibits performances that attract crowds.
  4. Bursts sound-emitting fire crackers.
  5. Uses a loudspeaker or public address system.

Other limits: rule 5A. No horn may be used in a silence zone, except in a public emergency. Construction equipment may not be used there at night.

Why it exists. Patients need rest, students need concentration, and courts need quiet to hear cases.

Example. The road outside a district hospital, notified as a silence zone, where horns are forbidden.
