NEW DELHI: The Telangana government issued a notice to organizers of Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh's concert.
The concert is scheduled for Friday in Hyderabad.
The notice states, "songs promoting alcohol, drug, and violence shall not be sung at the event."
The notice prevents Dosanjh from singing these songs during his concert at Cyberabad on November 15.
Additionally, the notice prohibits using children on stage and mandates controlling loud sounds and flashing lights to protect children.
Dosanjh's concert in Hyderabad is part of his "Dil-Luminati Tour," spanning ten cities across India. The District Welfare Officer of the Department of Welfare of Women and Children, Disabled and Senior Citizens, Rangareddy, issued the notice.
It is based on a representation from a Chandigarh resident, citing video evidence of Dosanjh singing songs promoting alcohol, drugs and violence at a live show in New Delhi last month.
Despite the notice, Dosanjh arrived in the city and shared videos on social media of his visit to the historic Charminar, offering prayers at a temple and Gurudwara.
