West Bengal: Loudspeakers taken down from over 1,400 religious sites
According to a TOI report, 1,279 mosques and 199 temples across West Bengal have dismantled loudspeakers from their buildings over the past 48 hours following state government directives. Local police allegedly gave verbal instructions to these religious centers, a move that faced pushback from certain mosque officials. ISF MLA Naushad Siddiqui remarked, "They were told, 'We have said it, so it must be done'."
