Loudspeaker rule not applicable to ‘azan’: Wakf Board
The Hindu
Karnataka's Wakf Board has clarified that its previous circular regarding ban of loudspeakers in mosques and dargahs from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. is not applicable to morning ‘azan’ or call for prayer.
On March 9, the Board had issued a circular to all the mosques and dargahs in the State not to use loudspeakers between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., saying the ambient noise level around many mosques and mausoleums have “deleterious effects on human health and the psychological well-being of the people.” This order had drawn criticism.
