LUCKNOW: In a statewide drive to ensure compliance of government directives over the use of loudspeakers at religious sites across the state, 778 loudspeakers were removed from religious sites of different communities across Uttar Pradesh in the past 48 hours.
Besides, the volume of 21,140 loudspeakers was lowered in accordance with the prescribed decibel levels. Recently, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had directed officials to ensure that the public address systems are not installed at religious sites without prior permission and at places which are permitted to use loudspeakers it should be ensured that the sound does not go beyond the premises where they are installed.
