LAHORE ( The COW News Digital) In a surprising incident that has caught public attention, a Lahore resident found himself in legal trouble for playing the legendary singer Noor Jehan’s popular song “Jhanjran De Pawan Chhankar” at an extremely high volume while driving his car in the Nawab Town area.
The local police registered a case against the driver under the Sound Act after receiving a complaint. According to the FIR, the driver was blasting the song so loudly that it violated permissible sound levels, disturbing nearby residents.
Authorities reported that when police attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver tried to evade them. However, the Nawab Town police, led by ASI Rehmat, pursued the vehicle and successfully apprehended the driver. The incident has sparked discussions regarding noise regulations and public responsibility.
Station House Officer (SHO) Mian Tahseen Ahmed confirmed the action, stating that legal measures were taken immediately in response to the violation. “We do not tolerate breaches of the Sound Act,” he emphasized, highlighting that such actions are detrimental to public peace.
Senior Police Officer Rana Hussain Tahir of the Saddar Division further remarked that individuals flouting noise regulations will face strict consequences. “There will be no leniency for those who disrupt public order through unnecessary noise,” he added, reinforcing the authorities’ stance on upholding community peace.
The incident reflects ongoing efforts by local authorities to enforce the Sound Act and ensure that public spaces remain free from excessive noise pollution. Lahore, being a densely populated urban area, has seen increasing concerns regarding noise disturbances caused by vehicles, commercial activities, and public events.
Legal experts note that under the Sound Act, playing music at an unreasonably high volume in residential areas is a punishable offense. Residents are encouraged to report such incidents to maintain neighborhood peace. In this case, the police response demonstrates the importance of adherence to existing regulations and the consequences of non-compliance.
While Noor Jehan’s music is widely celebrated and cherished, authorities stress that enjoying music should not infringe on the rights and comfort of others. The Lahore police’s quick action serves as a reminder to the public to exercise discretion and responsibility in matters of sound and noise levels.
This incident has sparked both amusement and debate on social media, with users sharing their opinions on the balance between personal enjoyment and community rights, while highlighting the enduring popularity of Noor Jehan’s songs across generations.
