Notably, soon after assuming the office on Wednesday, MP CM Mohan Yadav ordered a ban on the “unregulated use of loudspeakers” in religious places and other public places.
“Today we have taken several discussions during the first Cabinet meeting. We have raised the issue of meat sales in the open and have proposed to bring rules for this, in the Cabinet meeting today,” MP CM Yadav said while addressing a press conference in Bhopal on Wednesday.
Guidelines for the use of loudspeakers, based on the orders of the Supreme Court and National Green Tribunal, were also issued for immediate implementation, he said.
A flying squad will be constituted in each district to monitor the sound levels of loudspeakers and DJ systems playing music at religious places, the official said. (ANI)
