Lucknow: Keeping in view some recent incidents of violence during festivals in some states, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed that no religious procession should be taken out without permission. 

He further said that the use of loudspeakers should not cause any inconvenience to people.

During of a review meeting on law and order with senior officials here on Monday, he said everyone has the freedom to follow his way of worship according to his religious ideology.

"Although mics can be used, make sure the sound does not come out of any premises. Other people should not face any problem," he said, adding that no permission should be given to install loudspeakers at new sites.

"No religious procession should be taken out without due permission. Before giving permission, an affidavit should be taken from the organiser regarding maintenance of peace and harmony.

"Permission should be given to only those religious processions, which are traditional. New programmes should not be given unnecessary permission," Adityanath added.

He also asked officials from the police stations to the ADG level to hold dialogue with religious leaders within the next 24 hours to ensure peace during festivals.
