As a result, the collector has granted the loudspeaker extension on only three days, that is September 11, 14 and 19. “We are seeking a fourth day as well,” he added.

“At that time, too, we were permitted to use loudspeakers till midnight on four days not three,” he said.
Suburban collector Milind Borikar said, “We have prepared the list of 12 days of the year on which loudspeakers will be permitted till 12.00am based on existing rules and laws. Since Gauri visarjan falls on the fifth day of Ganeshotsav, the seventh day extension has been removed,” he said.
