Goa, October 29 — The Goa Human Rights Commission (GHRC) has issued directives to local police to ensure that sound from the music system accompanying the Narkasur effigy remains within legally permitted time and sound limits. The order pertains to celebrations near Kamat Arcade, Block-B, St Inez, scheduled for the night of October 30.The GHRC’s decision comes after a petition raised concerns about noise levels and the placement of the effigy and sound system near an internal road. While the effigy location remains unchanged, the GHRC has mandated that the sound system be placed approximately 20 meters from Kamat Arcade, positioned on the public pavement facing the road. Police have also been tasked with conducting routine inspections to monitor compliance with sound regulations and maintain public order. They are required to submit an Action Taken Report to the GHRC by November 12.
