PIL filed against Diljit, Karan Aluja concert
Earlier, a Chandigarh resident filed a PIL in connection with the management of public events at the Sector 34 exhibition ground.
The petitioner cited traffic disruptions caused by another concert at the same venue recently performed by rapper-singer Karan Aujla.
The person highlighted massive traffic jams occurring during Aujla's show and expressed apprehensions about a similar situation during Dosanjh's.
Though the arena is meant for commercial use, it has in the vicinity some houses, where children and senior citizens live, he contended.
However, the Punjab and Haryana High Court then allowed Dosanjh's event scheduled to take place in Chandigarh on Saturday, with a direction that he comply with the noise pollution regulations.
