Ahead of his concert in Hyderabad on Friday, Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has been issued a notice by the Telangana government prohibiting the performance of songs promoting alcohol, drugs, and violence. The notice, issued by the District Welfare Officer of Rangareddy, was based on a complaint from a Chandigarh resident.
As part of his Dil-Luminati Tour, which covers 10 cities across India, Diljit’s concert in Cyberabad on November 15 will be subject to these restrictions. The notice also bans the use of children on stage and warns against the harmful effects of loud sounds and flashing lights on young attendees.
The complaint, supported by video evidence, referred to a previous concert by Diljit in New Delhi, where songs with similar themes were performed. Meanwhile, Diljit shared a video on his social media showing his arrival in the city, where he visited historic landmarks like Charminar and offered prayers at a temple and Gurudwara.
