Hello Amit - great question!

From what I found, there is no way to disable the trigger of emails when a page is initially published or when edits are made and you want to notify watchers.

However, if you want to publish a page and not notify anyone (this includes both push notifications and email alerts) that is possible. In the edit screen, rather than publishing the page, you can click on the "More Actions" button next to "Close" button and you'll be presented with a dropdown where you can "publish without notifying watchers".

If you want to remove the noise of emails while still notify watchers in Confluence, my suggestion is to create a rule for your inbox to automatically move these emails to a dedicated Confluence Alerts folder and mark as "read".
