Vidyanagar, Chennamma Circle harm your ears

HUBLI: The fact that people and vendors living on Vidyanagar Main Road, Deshpandenagar Road, Rani Chennamma Circle and other main streets reportedly suffer from severe headaches and other health problems points to a bigger malady: increasing sound pollution due to heavy traffic movement in Hubli.
A recent survey conducted by five students of the 2011-12 batch BSc students of PC Jabin Science College of Hubli found that noise pollution was high in crowded places like Vidyanagar Main Road, Rani Chennamma Circle and Deshpandenagar Road.They found that most of the residents and vendors here also suffer from hearing problems.
Avinash Mali, a member of the survey team, told TOI that Rani Chennamma Circle recorded the highest sound pollution at 100-110 decibels, which causes severe headaches and hearing problems. Schoolchildren are most vulnerable to problems caused by noise pollution in Deshpandenagar, which recorded 80-85 decibels.
