Mumbai Police Action on Mosque Loudspeakers Sparks Controversy

Mumbai Police Action on Mosque Loudspeakers Sparks Controversy

In Mumbai, the police are cracking down on mosques using loudspeakers, citing noise pollution rules.

Some Muslim groups are upset, saying the police are being unfair and targeting them.

They claim the police are removing loudspeakers without checking noise levels first.

They believe the police are acting on complaints from a BJP politician and are not being consistent.

On the other hand, the police say they're just following the law.

The Muslim groups are also pointing out that other religious celebrations can be louder.

Leaders from different political parties are involved and are trying to find a solution by discussing how to meet the decibel limits.
