"DJs will not be banned during the 'Kanwar Yatra' but they should only play 'bhajans'. No filmy song is allowed," an official statement from CMO's office read. Earlier on being asked about the ban on DJs during 'Kanwar Yatra as it generates noise, Adityanath had asserted that till loudspeakers are not banned in every place of worship, the 'Kanwar Yatra' will continue in the usual way.
He said when officials conveyed him about the use of DJs during the 'Kanwar Yatra', he told them to ensure that no sound emanates from any place of worship. The 'Kanwar Yatra' is an annual pilgrimage of Lord Shiva's devotees.
