KARIMNAGAR, APRIL 08, 2026: Even as the Commissioner of Police Gaush Alam issues instructions banning the use of DJ (disc jockey) and high decibel music systems in the Karimnagar Police Commissionerate, the fans of a film star have blatantly violating the norms by using the DJ music during the birthday celebrations of a film star at Mamatha theatre in Karimnagar town on Wednesday.
The fans created a big nuisance with high-decibel music to celebrate the birthday of their hero. The growing use of DJs and noisy music systems during local processions, marriage functions and celebrations in the city has raised significant concerns. The residents of the town have urged the police to not grant permits for such sound systems.
The doctors highlighted the alarming increase in cases of hearing loss over the past four years, attributing this trend to the excessive noise from DJs, high-decibel music systems and even headphones.
“Human ears can only tolerate sound levels up to 80 decibels, beyond which the risk of hearing loss rises significantly,” the doctors said.
