Amid the ongoing controversy over using loudspeakers for calling azaan in mosques, the State Government has asked all those wishing to use loudspeakers to obtain permission within 15 days. Loudspeakers without permission from designated authorities would be removed.
A circular issued on Tuesday also cited the decibel levels for residential, commercial, and industrial areas as per the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, notified under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
