Mosque loudspeakers disrupt children's education: Rajasthan BJP MLA Balmukundacharya

Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], January 30 (ANI): BJP MLA Balmukundacharya raised the issue of mosque loudspeakers disrupting children's studies in Jaipur.
During the Zero Hour in the State Assembly on Thursday, Balmukundacharya raised the issue of reducing the high volume of loudspeakers installed on mosques in Jaipur city. He stated that the loud noise starts at 4 AM, disturbing sleep and affecting the health of elderly and sick people, infringing on their rights.
Raising the matter under Rule 295, Balmukundacharya stated that the loud noise from mosque loudspeakers disrupts children's studies. He noted that the high-volume sound begins as early as 4:00 AM, causing distress to the elderly and the sick due to noise pollution.
