The protestors contended that music was an expression of oneself and clamping a ban was akin to clamping on one's personal freedom.

The protestors, who carried placards saying 'give our freedom back', wondered how listening to recorded music was permissible, but not listening to live music.

Police had earlier enforced a 11.30 pm deadline, which was followed by a ban on dancing and live music performances, including karaokes.
