Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has announced strict measures to curb noise pollution, stating that illegal loudspeakers installed in mosques will be removed. He emphasized, “We will take action against noise pollution. Installing illegal loudspeakers is against the law, and violations will not be tolerated.”

The move aims to enforce existing noise regulations and ensure a peaceful environment for residents. Fadnavis’ announcement comes amid growing concerns over noise pollution and its impact on public health. While the decision has been welcomed by some, it has also sparked debates about religious freedoms and the implementation of such measures. The government’s focus remains on balancing civic responsibilities with cultural sensitivities, ensuring compliance with legal standards.
