Allahabad University V-C triggers row after complaining against ‘loud’ azaan from mosque
The Hindu
Vice-Chancellor (V-C) of Allahabad University Sangita Srivastava has triggered a controversy after she allegedly complained to the district administration in Prayagraj about “disturbance” caused to her by the call for azaan from a mosque near her residence every morning.
A copy of the letter dated March 3 was widely shared on social media, though it could not be independently verified from the V-C. In the letter, Ms. Srivastava writes to District Magistrate (DM) Bhanu Pratap Goswami saying that every day at about 5.30 a.m., her sleep was “disturbed due to loud azaan” from the “mike” by the maulvi of a mosque nearby.More Related News
