'We Should Celebrate Festivals in Our Own Traditional Way': Siddhesh KadamIn an interview with India Today, Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) Chairman Siddhesh Kadam discussed the environmental impact of data centers, loudspeaker regulations during festivals, and incidents of violence against healthcare workers. Addressing concerns over upcoming data centers in residential areas, Kadam stated that MPCB is collaborating with IIT Mumbai to formulate a comprehensive policy and operating guidelines regarding siting criteria, buffer zones, water sourcing, energy usage, heat generation, and noise control. On the use of high-decibel DJ systems and loudspeakers during festival seasons, Kadam urged citizens to avoid western sound systems and return to traditional cultural practices such as Puneri Dhol, Nashik Dhol, and Koli brass bands. He remarked, "We should celebrate these festivals in our own traditional way, rather than adopting the Western cultures of having these loudspeakers, laser lights and the DJ system." Furthermore, Kadam condemned assaults on medical personnel, asserting that no individual may take the law into their hands and all offenders will face legal action.
