Over 55 loudspeakers removed from mosques in UP's Muzaffarnagar

Muzaffarnagar: Police in Muzaffarnagar have launched a drive against noisy loudspeakers in the city, removing more than 55 loudspeakers from various mosques for alleged violations of Supreme Court guidelines on sound limits, officials said on Wednesday.

The loudspeakers were taken down from mosques located in the Civil Lines, Kotwali, and Khalapar police station areas as part of the ongoing enforcement campaign.

Circle Officer (City) Sidharth Mishra told reporters that district authorities have instructed caretakers of mosques, temples, and gurdwaras to strictly comply with directives issued by the Supreme Court and the government regarding the use of loudspeakers.

He added that the drive aims to ensure that all existing loudspeakers operate within permissible legal sound levels.
