A citizen can now skip the need to visit police stations in order to obtain permission for using loudspeakers. The process has been streamlined, allowing you to apply for permission through the official Kerala Police app called ‘Pol App’ or via the ‘Tuna’ website. To begin, download the Pol App on your mobile device an-d create an account. Within the app, navigate to the “Mike Sanction Registration” section and provide the necessary details. Attach required documents, such as applicant’s information, microphone operator’s license, and, if applicable, a certificate from the returning officer for election-related purposes. For those seeking permission for vehicles, additional details like route and vehicle information should be included. The application fee is Rs.660 for general purposes and Rs.1115 for installing loudspeakers on vehicles, payable online. These steps can also be completed on the Tuna website. Once you’ve finished these stages, you can submit your application. For ordinary microphone sanction applications, visit the designated Assistant’s office. In the case of vehicle-related applications, these are directed to the Commissioner or DYSP Offices and to District Special Branch Offices. Once approved, you can obtain your certificate through the app or the website.
