A recent survey by a team from the College of Engineering Pune Technical University has found that the decibel levels during the practice sessions of various dhol-tasha pathaksin the run-up to Ganeshotsav are as high as on the last day of the festival when the Ganapati idols are immersed, reports Ardhra Nair. From the lowest recorded noise level at 75 decibels near Rajaram bridge to 95 decibels near Central Mall (near Nal Stop), the noise levels of the dhol-tasha sessions are well above permissible limits, the survey showed.
