The Telangana High Court issued interim orders banning sounds from Hyderabad Pubs after 10 pm. The High Court in its order said that no sound should be played in pubs and bars between 10 pm and 6 am with effect from today.
The Court suggested the city police monitor the noise levels around these pubs which is causing inconvenience to the public in general.
The High Court also took a serious note and questioned how pubs were allowed in places where there are houses and educational institutions under the Excise Rules.
The Excise Department was directed to file a counter on what basis permission was granted to the pubs to operate in residential areas.
The High Court also said that only liquor should be served at night in the pub. Recently, a petition was filed in the High Court on the Tat Pub issue and High Court Advocate Kailash Nath argued on behalf of the petitioners.
The Court has issued notices to the Commissioners of Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Rachakonda regarding this issue.
It is already known that the Hyderabad city police were planning to launch an initiative against noise pollution after 10 pm after several complaints were filed by citizens over noise levels coming from pubs.
Pubs in the city continue to play loud music till late and youngsters are seen coming out heavily drunk and driving cars and bikes in such a state posing a threat to the people on the roads.
