Further, the state government had failed to take any action against organisers for violation of noise pollution rules and erecting illegal pandals in public places, like outside schools, hospitals and bus stops, it was averred.<\/p>\n<p>The HC had in March directed the authorities concerned to withdraw licences of those Ganpati mandals which violate the rules.
