Diljit Dosanjh’s Concert In Pune: Chandrakant demands cancelation of event amidst protests
The controversy over the concert of Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh to be held in Pune is deepening. After the protest by the local residents of Kothrud and the orders of the guardian minister Chandrakant Patil, the event is likely to be cancelled.
Chandrakant Patil, who is the recently elected MLA from Kothrud, has strongly objected to this concert. He has instructed the Pune Police Commissioner, Excise Department, and District Collector to cancel this event immediately.
What did Chandrakant Patil say against the concert?
In a conversation with the media, Chandrakant Patil said, “As a local MLA and a responsible citizen, I oppose this concert of Diljit Dosanjh. The reason for my protest is not only the sale of liquor in this event, but also the traffic jam and excessive noise, which will cause inconvenience to the residents of Kothrud. I have instructed the concerned authorities to cancel this event. If this concert is held, I will lead a big protest march on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party.”

Excise department rejected permission to sell liquor
According to sources, the Excise Department has refused to give permission to serve liquor in this event. However, no official statement has been issued by the Pune administration regarding the cancellation of this concert so far.
The event is surrounded by controversies even before the concert
This is the second time that controversy has arisen over Diljit Dosanjh’s concert. Recently, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) had ordered action regarding the garbage and chaos spread after a Diljit Dosanjh program held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium last month.
Concerns of local residents
The citizens of Kothrud are worried about the inconveniences caused by this event. They say that such big events increase traffic and noise levels in the area, which has a negative impact on their daily lives.
At present, it remains to be seen what decision the administration takes regarding this concert. There has been no response from the organizers on this controversy.
