People should not face problems due to the construction work. Therefore, the developers should install acoustic barrier sheets at their sites, Pandey told the builders during the meeting.

The developers should install boards of work timing and duration at the construction site, he said.
After taking the charge as new police chief of the metropolis, Pandey asked builders and construction contractors to rein in noise pollution and provide relief to the people of the city.
