Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India]: Following the direction of the Uttar Pradesh Government, nearly 11,000 loudspeakers have been removed from religious places till Wednesday (April 27) evening.

As per the data released by the government, a total of 10,923 loudspeakers were uninstalled from various religious sites in the state, and the volume of 35,221 loudspeakers was lowered as per the parameters till 4.00 pm on Wednesday.

Data of loudspeakers removed and lowered in Uttar Pradesh

The state’s home department removed loudspeakers from eight zones of the state, including Agra, Meerut, Bareilly, Lucknow, Kanpur, Prayagraj, Gorakhpur, Varanasi and four commissionerates — Lucknow, Kanpur, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Varanasi.

Out of the total, the home department removed a maximum of 2,395 loudspeakers and lowered the volume of 7,397 loudspeakers from the religious places in the Lucknow zone, followed by the Gorakhpur and Varanasi zones.

On Wednesday, the home department asked the police to remove the loudspeakers and those flouting the noise limit standards at religious places across the state. The order to remove loudspeakers from religious places in the state was issued on April 24. A compliance report from the districts in this regard has been sought by April 30.

UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on April 21, directed that the loudspeakers at religious places should not play loud, and the sound must be confined to the premises only.

He also said the microphones should not be installed and that no new loudspeakers would be allowed at religious places.

The Supreme Court’s June 2005 order had banned the use of loudspeakers, and music systems in public between 10.00 pm and 6.00 am (except in cases of public emergencies), citing the serious effects of noise pollution on the health of those residents who live in such areas.

The issue of loudspeakers has been gaining traction ever since MNS chief Raj Thackeray gave an ultimatum for the removal of loudspeakers at mosques by May 3. (ANI)
