After Raj Thackeray's warning, Maharashtra restricts use of loudspeakers at religious places, new guidelines soon

Maharashtra Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil has said that the state govt will soon issue new guidelines for the use of loudspeakers at religious places.

Mumbai: Maharashtra Director General of Police and Mumbai Police Commissioner will prepare guidelines on the use of loudspeakers which will be issued in a couple of days, state Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil said on Monday.

Walse Patil's comments came amid the demand raised by the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and the BJP for the removal of loudspeakers from mosques.

“The state's director general of police (Rajnish Seth) and Mumbai CP (Sanjay Pandey) will sit together and prepare guidelines (over the use of loudspeakers) for the state. These guidelines will be issued in a day or two. All will have to implement them," he told reporters.
