(No. B/781) Mr A. Duval (Fourth Member for Port-Louis North & Montagne Longue) asked the Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, Home Affairs and External Communications, Minister of Finance, Minister for Rodrigues and Outer Islands whether, in regard to the Grand Gaube Police Station, he will, for the benefit of the House, obtain from the Commissioner of Police, information as to the number of contraventions booked by officers attached thereto since 12 June 2025 to date, indicating the number thereof booked for road offences and noise pollution offences, respectively. 126
Reply: I am informed by the Commissioner of Police that since 12 June to 27 July 2025, 102 contraventions relating to road offences have been established by the Grand Gaube Police Station. There has been no contravention for noise pollution for the period under reference. However, there are complaints from inhabitants concerning noise pollution in the coastal region of Grand Gaube. In this regard, Police, with the support of Special Mobile Force personnel, are deployed on Grand Gaube public beach during weekends as a deterrent. Furthermore, during this year, 19 sensitisation campaigns and 110 crackdown operations have been carried out by officers of Grand Gaube Police Station with the assistance of other Units of the Police. In addition, 23 crackdown operations were carried out this year in the region of Grand Gaube by the Police de l’Environnement, Special Mobile Force and Special Support Unit. I am informed that the Ministry of Environment, Solid Waste Management and Climate Change has made provision in this financial year for the acquisition of Noise Measuring Instruments for the Police de l’Environnement. Regarding the use of these instruments, the assistance of the Health Engineering Unit of the Ministry of Health and Wellness will be solicited to provide training to officers of the Police de l’Environnement.
