DJ Noise Controversy: Infant’s Death Highlights Risks in Jharkhand

The death of a two-month-old girl in Ranchi, Jharkhand, has sparked controversy and brought attention to the potential health hazards of loud DJ music during festivals. The child’s father, Bandhan Lohra, has reported the incident to the police, claiming the DJ’s excessively loud music played near their home in Patuk Bajotoli village led to his daughter’s death. The incident occurred during a Vishwakarma Puja celebration, and the family’s pleas to lower the volume were disregarded. This tragedy follows a prior incident in Khunti district where an elderly man was killed in a DJ-related dispute, raising broader questions about the need to regulate DJ usage during public events to prevent such incidents in the future.
