The Environmental Management Authority says it has received in excess of 118 noise complaints for the year thus far.
In a media release on Tuesday, the EMA said it had responded to 61% of these complaints.
The EMA said it has taken affirmative action toward strengthening the legislative framework and engaging in dialogue with the TTPS and other key stakeholders such as event promoters and bar-owners, and continues to initiate public awareness campaigns.
The EMA maintained its stance that an all-of-society approach is required to fight the scourge of noise pollution.
It has made an appeal, in tandem with the TTPS to fete-promoters, event organizers, bar-owners and to the general public to be responsible, civic-minded, and cognizant of the damaging effects of noise pollution.
