No children on stage, no songs about drugs: Telangana’s instructions to Diljit Dosanjh ahead of Hyderabad concert

Diljit Dosanjh concert: Ahead of Diljit Dosanjh’s concert in Hyderabad, the Telangana government has issued a notice to the singer. The government asked Dosanjh to refrain from singing songs involving alcohol, drugs or violence.

The notice was issued to the organizers of the concert in Hyderabad on November 15. The announcement prevented the use of children on stage due to health concerns regarding high sound levels that could exceed safe limits for children under WHO guidelines. It was made clear that organizers should not “use” children on stage. According to the World Health Organization, children under the age of 13 should not be exposed to sound levels above 120 dB.

Diljit Dosanjh was also asked not to sing songs that promote alcohol, drugs or violence, citing previous instances where he had sung such songs.

Diljit’s Hyderabad concert is a part of his Dil-Luminati Tour, which covers 11 cities in India. This is his third concert after Hyderabad, Delhi and Jaipur.

The notice was based on a statement by a resident of Chandigarh and was issued by Rangareddy, District Welfare Officer, Department of Women and Children, Disabled and Senior Citizens Welfare. The affidavit, accompanied by video evidence, said Diljit Dosanjh sang songs promoting alcohol, drugs and violence during a live show at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi last month.

Diljit Dosanjh, who is currently in Hyderabad, visited the historic Charminar and prayed at a temple and Gurudwara in the city.
