Hyderabad Police have issued a stern warning to function hall owners across Kulsumpura Division, stating that repeated violations of noise pollution norms, public nuisance regulations, and traffic management guidelines could result in the cancellation of their trade licences and permissions.
The warning was issued during an awareness meeting conducted on Monday with function hall owners and managers operating under Kulsumpura Division in Golconda Zone. The meeting focused on preventing public disturbance and ensuring strict compliance with the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, and other applicable laws.
Addressing the gathering, B.

The officer directed all function hall managements to strictly follow government and police guidelines, maintain permissible sound levels, regulate parking arrangements, and ensure that events do not create public nuisance or disturb peace in surrounding residential areas.
He warned that any violation would be dealt with seriously and strict legal action would be initiated against the concerned managements. In cases of repeated violations, police would initiate proceedings under relevant legal provisions and recommend cancellation of trade licences and other permissions granted to the establishments.
