India Nov 10, 2025

On Sunday, UP Police launched a drive to remove loudspeakers from religious sites across Lucknow.
This move follows complaints about noise pollution and sticks to a Supreme Court order that sets limits on how loud these speakers can be.

Police teams visited different places of worship

Police teams visited different places of worship, checking if they followed the noise rules.
Loudspeakers breaking the decibel limit were taken down, and officers used the chance to talk with locals about why these guidelines matter.
Interestingly, many sites chose to remove their own loudspeakers, showing a bit of teamwork in keeping things quieter for everyone.
