Mumbai Police remove 8 loudspeakers from mosques overnight

Loudspeakers have been removed from eight mosques in Mumbai after a months-long row over their legality and compliance with sound pollution regulations. Locals allege police did not issue any warnings or conduct noise tests. 

Residents said that although the loudspeakers were in accordance with



the 45-56 decibel upper limit as set by the Bombay High Court, they were removed without any inspection or notification. “This is unfair,” they alleged. 

Videos of the sudden police action have emerged, showing officers misbehaving and threatening Muslims for standing in their way.
