Applications seeking permission to use loudspeakers at religious places have flooded the police stations in Mira Bhayandar Vasai Virar Commissionerate after MNS chief Raj Thackeray raked up the ‘social issue’ of noise pollution. Police said it is for the ‘first time’ that the religious bodies have approached police stations to seek permission.
MBVV police spokesperson Balram Palkar said, “MBVV police received a total of 209 applications—15 for temples, 63 for mosques and 131 for madrasas. We have granted permission to 55 mosques, 79 madrasas and nine temples till 3 pm on Wednesday.”
