India Supreme Court Refuses Loudspeakers For Religious Festivals

In India, the Supreme Court has turned down a request by the government of the state of Maharashtra to relax a ban on the use of loudspeakers between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. on 15 different religious festivals during the year. WebIndia123 reported on Friday that the state filed the petition because of the difficulty it foresaw in enforcing the ban this week during the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi.
