73 prayer leaders booked for violating ban on loudspeakers
[DAWN] Prayer leaders (Khateebs) of 73 worship places in the city were booked for violating the ban on the use of loudspeaker during the Friday prayers.

A police officer said the use of amplifier for any speech except Azan was banned in the capital city. After a bloody clash between two religious groups in Rawalpindi on Ashura last year, the capital police have decided to implement the ban strictly.

He said the clash outside a worship place located on the Ashura route in Raja Bazaar last year was caused by the misuse of the loudspeaker.

"Last Friday, police officials met the Khateebs of all mosques and imambargahs in the capital city and asked them not to violate the ban," he said. The Khateebs were further directed that their voice should remain confined to the premises of the worship places.

"In this regard, undertakings were also taken from them with the warning that legal action would be taken against them if the ban was violated."
