Delhi tightens loudspeaker rules: Prior permission mandatory, fines up to Rs 1 lakh for violations | Details

The Delhi Police has issued a set of strict guidelines regulating the use of loudspeakers and public address systems across the city, in a move similar to recent steps taken in Uttar Pradesh. The new rules aim to control noise pollution and ensure that sound levels remain within prescribed limits, especially in residential and silence zones. As per the order, no loudspeaker may be used at religious places beyond the permitted volume levels, and prior permission from the police is mandatory for installing or operating loudspeakers at any location, including public gatherings, religious events, and rallies.
