A court in Rawalpindi has banned street vendors from using loudspeakers to sell fruits, vegetables, and other items. The decision was made after a petition was filed by senior lawyer Anwar Dar and was approved by Additional Sessions Judge Maqsood Qureshi.
According to the court order, cases will be registered against vendors who do not follow this ban. The main purpose of the ruling is to reduce noise pollution in residential areas and help maintain peace and calm in neighborhoods where loud announcements often disturb residents.
Under the new order, vendors are required to sell their goods without using any amplified sound or loudspeaker systems. They must follow local rules and regulations while conducting their business in public areas. This step is expected to make daily life more comfortable for residents, especially children, elderly people, and those working or resting at home.
Authorities have been directed to monitor the situation and ensure that the court’s instructions are properly followed. Action will be taken against anyone who continues to use loud advertising methods. The move aims to strike a balance between allowing vendors to earn a living and protecting the public from unnecessary noise.
