Bengaluru, Nov 12, 2021: Passengers travelling by Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) buses have been banned from playing songs on their mobile speakers, according to an order issued by the Karnataka High Court.

 

The Karnataka High Court decided to impose the ban based on a writ petition filed before the court earlier. The petition had sought restrictions on "noise disturbance inside buses". It said the use of mobile phones to play songs and videos at high volumes should be restricted.

Taking the matter into consideration, the Karnataka High Court order stated that officials on the bus should request people to not play songs at high volumes and cause disturbance to co-passengers.

"If a passenger doesn’t listen to the instructions, officials can deboard the passenger from the bus," the high court said.
