Lucknow bans songs in autos to protect women

In a renewed bid to protect women from being exposed to vulgar elements, the Lucknow district authorities have decided to put a blanket ban on songs being played altogether in autos and tempos in Lucknow.

To that end, on Monday, all the auto and tempo drivers were instructed to remove the sound systems from their vehicles. Non-compliance to the diktat will invite fines and challans, the authorities said.

Speaking to Zee, senior SP, Kailash Naithani said, "All the autos and tempos will remove the sound systems present in their vehicles. This decision will be implemented in every area." He added, "These songs trouble everyone, especially women due to their vulgar lyrics. In addition, old people also face a lot of problems due to very loud music."
