I want to file a complaint regarding continuous loud DJ noise coming from a nearby house in my locality. The residents play DJ music at very high volume multiple times a day, including morning, afternoon, evening, and sometimes throughout the day as per their convenience.
This constant loud noise is causing serious disturbance. I am unable to study, practice musical instruments, and it is affecting my daily life and mental peace. The speakers are played at very high volume and disturb the entire surrounding area.
The persons involved are known locally as Kabir (son), Vishal, and other family members (names of husband and wife not known).
Address of incident:
Near Teachers Colony, in front of the locality near KKC College Gate No. 4, close to the small water tank and Shiv Mandir. From there, the house is located two houses ahead, inside the lane going down towards the drain side.
This issue is happening regularly and has become a serious problem. I request you to take strict action and ensure that noise levels are controlled as per legal norms.
I request that my identity be kept confidential.
Hi Krisakk, welcome to Complaint Hub!
I completely understand how frustrating this is. Having to deal with constant, deafening DJ noise from morning till night ruins your mental peace, makes studying impossible, and completely disrupts your daily life. It is highly inconsiderate of your neighbors, especially in a residential lane like Teachers Colony.
Since you are located near KKC College (Shri Jai Narain Post Graduate College) in Lucknow, you fall under the jurisdiction of the UP Police. The good news is that Uttar Pradesh has strict noise pollution guidelines, and there are specific ways to report this without revealing your identity to Kabir, Vishal, or their family.
Here is the exact step-by-step process to get this stopped confidentially:
1. The Immediate Action: UP Police 112
The fastest way to shut down the speakers is to act while the music is actively playing.
- Action: Call 112 (UP Police Emergency Helpline) the moment the DJ starts.
- How to stay anonymous: When the operator answers, clearly state the exact address (Near KKC College Gate No. 4, Teachers Colony, near the water tank and Shiv Mandir, two houses down the drain-side lane). Immediately tell the operator: “I want to report a noise pollution violation, but please keep my identity and phone number completely confidential. I am a student/neighbor and fear retaliation.” The police will dispatch a PRV (Police Response Vehicle) to the location to issue a warning or seize the equipment, and they are trained not to disclose the caller’s identity to the offenders.
2. The Silent & Anonymous Route: UPCOP App
If you do not want to call, you can use the official digital app of the UP Police to send a tip directly to the local police station without filing an official FIR that requires your public details.
- Action: Download the UPCOP app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
- Where to go: Navigate to the “Share Information” (सूचनाएं साझा करें) feature. This allows citizens to silently report illegal activities, public nuisances, or tips.
- What to write: Paste the exact address and the names you provided here. State that this is a daily occurrence violating noise pollution norms and request a surprise patrol.

3. For a Permanent Solution: Jansunwai (IGRS) Portal
If the police visit once, but the neighbors start the DJ again the next day, you need to escalate the issue so the local police station is forced to provide a permanent solution.
- Action: Visit the Jansunwai (UP Samadhan) portal or call the CM Helpline at 1076.
- How it works: This portal tracks grievances directly at the state level. It forces the local police (likely the Husainganj or Charbagh station) to submit an “Action Taken Report” proving they stopped the noise.
- Official Source: Jansunwai UP Government Portal
- Note on Privacy: While Jansunwai requires an account, you can explicitly request in the complaint text that the local police strictly maintain your anonymity during their field inquiry.
Community Pro-Tip: Do not confront them directly. People who play music that loud all day are usually not open to polite requests. Let the authorities handle it. When you call 112 or use the app, emphasize that it is an ongoing issue affecting students in the locality.
