MY residence is along with the Cricket Ground in Sector I-10/1. I am happy while watching children and the young playing football and cricket and active throughout the day.

Some political parties have started holding cricket tournaments. That's great.

But the point I want to bring to the notice of senior officials is that tournament organisers use high-pitched loudspeakers from 9am to 6pm. The running commentary with a big piercing voice has left all of us with noise disturbances. My children, who are students of different classes, cannot concentrate on their studies. In my own case I am not able to read a book during these hours.

However, thanks to loadshedding we get some respite. I do not understand who has allowed them to use loudspeakers. Will somebody in the CDA management help us in getting rid of the menace?

The CDA management is also requested to take care of the cleanliness of this ground, if not on a daily or weekly basis, then at least once a month.
