As per the order issued by the state secretariat, there is no restriction on regular and controlled (permissible decibel) use.
Regulated loudspeakers will be allowed to operate within prescribed decibel limits, at prescribed times only. No action will be taken if loudspeakers are being operated in accordance with the law.
It cited Supreme Court’s 2005 judgment banning use of loudspeakers between 10 pm and 6 am (except in cases of public emergencies) in public places. The October 28, 2005 verdict of the apex court stated that loudspeakers could be permitted to be used till midnight on festive occasions for 15 days a year.
