Despite being a Silence Zone, as declared by the Bombay High Court in 2010 following a petition by residents, Shivaji Park continues to be the site of noise and air pollution violations every Diwali. The Shivaji Park Advance Locality Management (ALM) body has complained to the Shivaji Park police in a letter written on Monday, seeking intervention and disciplinary action against those flouting the rules of a Silence Zone and bursting firecrackers at Shivaji Park after 10 pm.

Entrances have boards indicating Shivaji Park is a Silence Zone
