'Mobile phone shows time': UP govt cites SC ruling on loudspeakers for Ramzan announcements during night hours
Uttar Pradesh government has upheld Supreme Court directives on loudspeaker usage, denying requests for mosque announcements during Ramzan. While Samajwadi Party members argued for 'sehri' and 'iftar' calls, the state cited the 10 pm to 6 am sound restriction. Officials stated mobile phones make traditional time announcements unnecessary, emphasizing adherence to judicial orders over religious practices.
