Can Loud Music Kill? 140 Chickens Die After Wedding DJ Blasts Sound In UP

A strange and shocking incident has been reported from Sultanpur, where around 140 chickens at a poultry farm reportedly died after being exposed to very loud DJ music during a wedding procession.

The incident has raised concerns about noise pollution and its impact not only on humans but also on animals.

Wedding Procession Passes by Poultry Farm

The incident took place in Dariyapur village when a wedding procession passed near a poultry farm owned by a local resident. As part of the celebration, loud music was played on a DJ system.

According to the farm owner, the sound was extremely high and continued for a long time, causing panic among the chickens.

Farm Owner Claims Heavy Loss

The poultry farm owner said that the loud music frightened the birds, leading to chaos inside the farm. He claimed that many chickens collapsed and died due to stress.

He also stated that he requested the DJ operator to lower the volume, but his request was ignored. The next day, he approached the police and filed a complaint, citing financial loss due to the deaths.

Veterinary Report Points to Heart Failure

A team of veterinary doctors later examined the dead birds. According to the report, the chickens died due to heart failure.

Experts believe that sudden loud noise can cause extreme stress in animals, which may lead to fatal health issues in some cases.

Police Action Taken Against DJ Operator

Police from Baldirai Police Station registered a case against the DJ operator and the event manager.

An FIR has been filed under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita related to public nuisance and harm to animals. Provisions of the Environment Protection Act have also been applied.

The DJ vehicle was seized, and the operator was briefly arrested before being released on bail.

Raises Questions on Noise Pollution

This unusual incident has once again highlighted the issue of noise pollution in public events like weddings and celebrations.

While loud music is often seen as part of celebrations, experts say that excessive noise can have serious effects on both people and animals.

A Lesson for Future Celebrations

The case serves as a reminder that rules regarding sound levels should be followed strictly. Authorities may now look more closely at enforcing noise regulations to avoid such incidents in the future.

For the poultry farm owner, however, the incident has already caused a significant loss, turning what should have been a festive occasion nearby into a distressing event.
