To, The Aministrator,
Sir, I am one of the Citizens' Committee member of the Noise Pollution Committee (North Goa) instituted on the directives of the Bombay High Court at Goa, working with various authorities to reduce the ill effects of Loud Music Noise Pollution. The below reproduced SMS has been sent to the authorities as well as to other members on the committee for information as a result of having been advised by various people from the Calangute-Baga Coastal belt over a period of few days that the sound decibels in various shacks have gone up a hundred fold with authorities giving deaf ears to the complaints. As such the text of the SMS is self explanatory. I take this opportunity to remind you that I have gone back to the HC of Bombay at Goa in a 'Contempt Petition' against Ponda Police Inspector Shri. Manjunath Dessai in particular and other authorities for disclosing the identity of the complainant as a result the complaint's house was stoned by irate mobs. The Petition is ongoing and in the process of being admitted. This Comtempt Petition was filed w.r..t. the Suo Moto Writ Petition 97 of 1997 which I had filed to challenge the authorities for abetting Loud Music Noise Pollution in the state using the weak anti-noise pollution act called the now withdrawn "Madhya Pradesh Noise Pollution Act". To think of it that I am still fighting the authorities on this issue even to this date does not go well with the governance of this state. Sd/- Floriano Lobo 9890470896 2470223 [Text of the SMS] sent today December 29, 2008 at 0900 p.m.] To, Mihir Vardhan, Collector (N) S. Naik, Addl. Col. (N) M. Corjuenkar, Dy. Col. Bardez. Bosco George, SP (N) Gundu Naik, DYSP Calangute. S. Goltekar, DYSP Mapusa. Ranjana Saudagar, mbr. NPC, Desmond Alvares,mbr. NPC John Lobo, Shack Owner's Assoc. Press Sirs, I am receiving reports from the Calangute-baga belt on consistent basis that shacks Pyramid/San/Lucky Star and various others are chronic violators of Loud Music norms thro playing deafeaningly loud music upto 3 a.m. with larger than human power speaker columns mounted in respective shacks. How come such powerful speaker systems allowed in shacks where music is supposed to be played for listening pleasure, if at all? Notices served by Police to all shack owners et al sometime time back have come to naught? I have reason to believe police are asking for complaint's names but fail to take action. This is a serious complaint. If you guys in authority do not stop this nonsense forthwith, I will personally look for some sympathetic Terrorists, PAKISTANI if need be, and have these places as well as your offices BOMBED for good measure to bring back peace. This communication will find its way to the High Court shortly with a CONTEMPT PETITION, rest assured if this sickness is not stopped forthwith on permanent basis. floriano lobo mbr. NPC End
