New delhi date. Wednesday, March 17, 2021

A letter from the Chancellor of Allahabad Central University at Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh is much talked about. University professor Sangeeta Srivastava has written a letter to the local DM complaining that his sleep was being disturbed due to ajaan in the mosque and demanded action in the matter.

Professor Sangeeta Srivastava wrote in a letter addressed to Prayagraj's DM that Azaan is held in the mosque at around 5:30 am every morning. The loud noise of the loudspeakers in Teva disturbs their sleep. According to the Chancellor's complaint, sleep is disturbed unknowingly and then sleep does not come again. This causes headaches throughout the day and also affects work. The letter was written on March 3.

However, the Chancellor made it clear in the letter that he was not against any denomination, class or race. At the same time, referring to a proverb, he also wrote that your freedom ends where my nose starts. Sangeeta Srivastava has requested in the letter that Ajaan can happen even without a loudspeaker so that it does not affect another person's daily routine. Now Sahari will be announced at 4 am before Eid so that their trouble may increase.

Sangeeta Srivastava wrote in the letter that the Constitution of India also envisions secularism and peaceful harmony for all classes. He also referred to the orders of the Allahabad High Court.

He also sent the letter to the Commissioner, IG and DIG in addition to the DM. According to DIG Best Tripathi, a letter was received a few days ago and the concerned officer has been directed to take legal action after investigation. Besides, DM Bhanu Chandra Goswami has also spoken of action as per rules.
