BENGALURU: Barely 24 hours after the state government moved to quell the row on use of loudspeakers by issuing fresh rules, home minister Araga Jnanendra said on Wednesday that the government will strictly monitor implementation of the guidelines and legal action will be taken if violations occur.
Some fringe pro-Hindu groups had protested use of loudspeakers to broadcast azaan – which they said was a violation of Supreme Court orders – and, in a tit for tat move, had vowed to play Hanuman Chalisa and bhajans over loudspeakers at temples early in the morning.
