Chandigarh: Police not in favour of holding AP Dhillon concert in Sector 25
Hindustan TimesThe UT administration’s plan of shifting the venue for Punjabi singer AP Dhillon’s upcoming concert from the Sector 34 exhibition ground to the Sector 25 ground is unlikely to get police nod. Despite residents and trader associations’ strong opposition to hosting concerts at the Sector 34 exhibition ground, the approval from Chandigarh Police for moving the December 21 event to Sector 25 remains uncertain due to presence of hospitals and educational institutes in the area. “The high-decibel noise from a live musical concert could severely disrupt hospital operations, affecting patients, especially those in intensive care units. Another challenge is that the access roads to the Sector 25 ground are limited, with fewer exits available to control the movement of the crowd attending the concert.
