Ahead of his ‘Dil-Luminati‘ concert in Hyderabad, Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh has received a legal notice from the Telangana government. The notice, served on November 7, directs Dosanjh to refrain from performing songs that promote alcohol, drugs, or violence during his concert on Friday.
Complaint Leads to Legal Action
The notice follows a complaint filed by Panditrao Dharenavar, a professor from Chandigarh. The professor expressed concerns about Dosanjh’s songs that, according to him, encourage harmful behaviors. The complaint included video evidence from Dosanjh’s previous live shows, specifically the one at Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on October 26-27, where he allegedly performed songs promoting alcohol, drugs, and violence.
The notice warns, “We are issuing this notice in advance to deter promoting these in your live show,” and emphasizes the importance of avoiding such content at the upcoming concert.
Restrictions on Children at the Concert
Additionally, the notice includes specific instructions about the safety of children attending the concert. It states that children should not be allowed on stage due to the potential danger posed by loud music. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that adults should not be exposed to sound levels exceeding 140 decibels, and for children, the limit is set at 120 decibels.
The notice also highlights concerns about flashing lights and loud sounds, both of which can be harmful to young audiences. It cites the concert guidelines, which allow children under the age of 13 to attend, but points out the risks posed by the high decibel levels and intense light effects typically seen at such events.
The legal notice aims to prevent any safety or health hazards during the performance while addressing concerns about the content being promoted in the singer’s show.
