Tripura Police received 35 new digital sound meters to strictly check noise pollution during festivals. The Tripura State Pollution Control Board handed over these devices on October 12, 2026, at an event in Agartala. This new batch takes the total count of sound meters with the police force to 80 units.
These meters will help police enforce rules set under the Noise Pollution Regulation and Control Rules and the Environment Protection Act. These laws decide the allowed sound limits for industrial, commercial, residential, and silence zones. State Minister Animesh Debbarma urged officers to use this technology properly and extend checks to rural areas.
Police will use these devices to control loud vehicle exhausts and high-volume loudspeakers ahead of Durga Puja and Diwali. Officers are currently getting training on how to operate the meters. More details are available on
UNI India.
