Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered action against Azaan and loudspeakers in mosques in the Assembly. He has issued this order after BJP members objected to Azaan and loudspeakers in the House.

He said that the provision of loudspeaker permit will not be given permanently and it will also be checked whether the temporary permit has been renewed or not and after getting the permit, if the norms of noise pollution are violated, then first the police will inform the Pollution Control Board about it and then action will be taken against the concerned institution and if many complaints are received, their permit will also be canceled and it will not be renewed again.

He said that the Pollution Control Board has the right to take action regarding noise pollution and the police should also take action on it, so there is a need to amend this law. He said that therefore he demands from the central government that guidance should be provided in this regard and changes and amendments should be made in the law so that the police also get more power to take action on it.

Devendra Fadnavis said that as per the order of the Supreme Court, permission for loudspeakers is mandatory for religious places and action will be taken against anyone who uses loudspeakers without permission. Along with this, the Supreme Court has also made it clear that there is a complete ban on loudspeakers from 10 pm to 6 am. Along with this, the Supreme Court has also laid down some guidelines which are mandatory to be followed.

The sound limit has been fixed from 55 decibels to 45 decibels. If anyone violates this, action will be taken against him. For this, instructions have been issued to senior police inspectors to tell people about the use of loudspeakers and ensure action against anyone who continuously violates noise pollution norms.

Mumbai: The Samajwadi Party will not enter into an electoral alliance with the Maha Vikas Aghadi in the Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections, not will it be part of this alliance. Those who objected to the release of innocent Muslims imprisoned for 19 years but remained silent on the release of the accused in the Malegaon blasts. Those who express pride in the demolition of the Babri Masjid, take the names of Lord Ram and Lord Vishwanath, but call the holy water of the Sangam smelly and make Uttar Bharatiyas and North Indians a target for violence. This is a province where the Pawars go to do their country’s panddan. Those belonging to such provinces insult and subject North Indians and Biharis to violence.

If such people are part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi, the Samajwadi Party will never be part of it.

The Samajwadi Party does politics of justice, secularism, constitutional values ​​and Ganga-Jamuni culture. Therefore, we cannot be part of any alliance that includes forces that spread hatred and divide the country. This kind of explanation has been given by Mumbai Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi. Elections are approaching, in such a situation, Mahayoti and Maha Vikas Aghadi are very serious about their allied parties. In such a situation, the Samajwadi Party has clearly refused to enter into an understanding with Maha Vikas Aghadi and has called it biased. Now there is curiosity about the expected entry and entry of MNS in Maha Vikas. In such a situation, the Samajwadi Party has denied it and said that it is unable to participate in the elections with those who incite violence on the basis of regionalism.

Mira Road: Tensions flared in Mira Road’s Dachkul-Pada area early Tuesday morning after a violent clash broke out over a parking dispute, leading to multiple injuries and extensive property damage.

The Kashigaon police have booked 15 identified individuals and around 50 unidentified others for their involvement in the attack, which left at least three to four people injured and nearly 30 to 35 autorickshaws damaged.

According to officials, the incident occurred around 6 am on Tuesday when a group of locals got into an argument with a few autorickshaw drivers who were washing their vehicles by blocking the road. The situation quickly escalated when one of the complainants, who had objected to the road being blocked, was allegedly attacked. Within minutes, the accused reportedly called in reinforcements from nearby areas, and around 50 men armed with axes, bamboo sticks, and sickles stormed into the lane.

“They attacked the complainant and a few others with sharp weapons and sticks. One of the victims suffered a head injury requiring stitches, while others escaped with bruises and scratches,” a police officer said. The crowd also went on a rampage, damaging several autorickshaws parked in the vicinity.

Locals alleged that the police arrived at the scene nearly an hour after the assault, by which time the attackers had fled. They also claimed that a group of miscreants regularly create nuisance in the area under the pretext of cleaning their autos and have been involved in drug-related activities. Residents have urged for stricter patrolling and police presence in the locality to prevent further incidents.

In response, Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik and MLA Narendra Mehta visited the site of the clash and assured residents that swift and strict action would be taken against those responsible for the violence.

Senior Police Inspector Mahesh Togarwad of Kashigaon Police Station confirmed that around 65 people have been booked under serious charges, including attempt to murder (Section 307), causing grievous hurt with weapons, rioting, unlawful assembly, and relevant sections of the Maharashtra Police Act for carrying prohibited weapons.
