Regulation
The statewide drive to regulate the use of loudspeakers in religious places was launched on April 25, he said, adding it'll continue in the coming days.
"The loudspeakers which are being removed are unauthorised. Those loudspeakers which have been placed without taking due authorization from the quarter administration or the bones which are used in excess of the permitted figures are categorised as unauthorised,” ADG Kumar explained further.
He stated, “ Orders of the high court regarding loudspeakers too are being considered during the exercise."The action followed Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's directions during his last week's review meeting on law and order with elderly officers then.
The principal minister had given the direction observing that the people have the freedom to perform their religious practices according to their faith.

Use of Mocrophone
"Though microphones can be used, so that the sound doesn't come out of demesne. People shouldn't face any problem,” he'd said. The state authorities, meanwhile, also spoke to religious heads for maintaining law and order during the forthcoming Eid fests.
