        There is a mosque near my house which blasts azaan 5 times a day from early in the morning breaking noise pollution rules disturbing us including many other families. Please contact if you’re a lawyer ready to take this up for a reasonable fee.

        Disclaimer: not against Muslims and azaan but against noise pollution and Indians lacking civic sense.

          You really think they understand the human language? Many people have tried and failed.

                Don’t just say anything. If OP takes legal route, his problem will be solved.

                I am facing same problem but in Maharashtra.

                There are already 3 mosques in my area. Now they are building 4th one on government land.

                Municipality is sleeping

                    Time to make a crowd sourced legal template out of this for national usage.

                          Same. I’ve got 2-3 temples and 2 mosques near my home. The mosques irritate me in the morning and evening while the temples irritate me in the night.Β

                            illegal advice, hack the speakerphone by sneaking into the location somehow and control it like you want

                                    There is a super speciality cardiac hospital in my area with mosque just opposite to its road.
                                    Gues what ! Patients don’t need alarm for their meds. No cajoling or reason works.

                                    Invest in earbuds.

                                      Although I didn’t have a problem of mosque but earlier when I was at pune there was a train track nearby and the noise was really loud. So I got a pair of noise cancelling headphones and life was sorted.

                                        Can we please ban all loudspeakers all over the country. No exceptions [maybe emergency alerts].

                                              There are no Emergency alerts in India (?)

                                                  It is there. They tested it on phones last year.

                                                  Govt vehicles with loudspeaker. Continuous church bells means emergency too.

                                                      You most likely can’t change anything.

                                                      You will listen to their prayers daily, and you will learn to enjoy it

                                                            I empathise with your problem. Do you have have money to install noise proof windows ? If yes do that. These mosques and temples won’t stop. But I’m happy to be proven wrong and support you if you decide to take legal action, don’t be afraid. What’s the worst that can happen ?

Do you think they lack courage to fight the mosque ? Did they lack connections ? Why do the rich and super rich not dirty their hands with court fights & activism ? Why is it always the guy who has nothing fighting the battle ? Cos he has relatively nothing to lose. Others have young kids, reputation, business, property and other such things that they worry about before getting into a fight.

                                                                                                              It was towards a vote bank , which includes a religious group (Hindu or Muslim) or a caste group.

                                                                                                              If you are not a part of that vote bank (certain section) no one cares about your rights.

In the name of any religion people create nuisance that violates our basic rights as citizens. They get away with it under the garb of Article 25. This is the bigger issue that needs to be addressed, before OPs issue can be. Else there’s nothing we can do about it.
