Hello, surti boyz,

Yes, there is a solution to every problem. I can understand, it is most irritating when there is huge noise which comes from bikes which creates nuisance for the residents staying in that locality whether as permanent members or rented you can complain about the same. 

But before that by any chance, if you know the person and he is a resident of the society in which you stay then before taking a more severe action it is advisable that you talk to the person and tell him that his bike is creating a nuisance and is disturbing you if he still does not pay heed then go for the next step of making a formal complaint. 

Firstly, You need to check whether he has removed the silencer because many times bikers remove the silencer due to which there is noise pollution. Also, you need to check whether the bike he is riding has any modifications and remember anything violating noise pollution norms is not approved. 

If the biker continuously and purposely keeps on doing this repeatedly then take a video when the biker is riding and making noise pollution, also click pictures of the bike with the biker, note down the registration details of the bike example the number plate and share this details with the concerned authority. 

The concerned authorities where you can make a complaint is in the police station of your area, even inform the state transport commissioner of your region to make a complaint. If they find out that the person has removed the silencer then they can penalize the violator as creating noise pollution and illegally removing the silencer is a punishable offence.

Call police control room number "100" and inform about the violation under Motor Vehicle Act and for criminally prosecutable offence of "nuisance" under IPC.

No need to disclose your name or whatever.

Hello, Greetings of the day!

I understand your concern, but first I will suggest you to settle amicably. If not possible than do the complaint in the police station regarding the grievances you hold. Also, by recording the same you can have more weightage in the words when you are approaching the concerned authority.


Hope it helps
Regards,

Sneha Jaiswal
