Hubballi-Dharwad Police Commissioner Bhushan Borse set a hard cap on Ganesh immersion music on September 7, 2026. He ddress a peace meeting at R.N. Shetty Kalyana Mantapa that DJ sound stops at 10 p.m. Traditional instruments may continue until midnight.
Any permission that breaks Supreme Court sound limits will be treated as an offence. Police will ride with every procession tractor and check DJ levels on mobile apps. A reading above 80 decibels means the DJ vehicle can be seized.
Committee office-bearers also face legal action if the volume crosses that line. Borse warned that obscene or provocative songs will not get a pass. Fights, indecent conduct, or drunken arguments will draw strict cases.
Deadly weapons found on the route can lead to a rowdy sheet. Teams will carry breath analysers and narcotics testing kits. People caught with intoxicants face public nuisance cases and a court appearance.

Public Nuisance Cases Warned Ahead of Hubballi Ganesh Visarjan
The meeting was held to lock festival rules before Ganesh Chaturthi processions fill the twin cities. Our sources said Borse put clean, lawful immersion above late-night DJ volume. Harmony groups and police staff sat through the briefing at the kalyana mantapa.
App-based monitoring is the new enforcement tool on the tractor route. Officers will not wait for a written complaint if the meter crosses 80 dB. Seizure plus a case against office-bearers is the stated package.
Public nuisance is the named charge for intoxicant use during the procession. Rowdy-sheet action is the named follow-up if a deadly weapon is recovered. We saw the commissioner frame both as non-negotiable.
Idol immersion crowds in Hubballi-Dharwad often run late. Traditional drums and cymbals still get the midnight window. DJ boxes do not.
