Sound level at Diljit Dosanjh's concert exceeded permissible noise limit: Chandigarh admin tells Punjab and Haryana High Court

Dosanjh had recently announced that he would not be performing live in India until the infrastructure of the country improves.

Amid reports of actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh's reluctance to perform in India citing lack of concert infrastructure, the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Wednesday was informed that the noise levels at the singer's recent concert in Chandigarh had exceeded the permissible limits.

The Chandigarh administration submitted an affidavit before a division bench of Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Anil Kshetarpal during the hearing of a PIL that sought traffic management, crowd control and security measures for Dosanjh's concert, Bar and Bench reported.

The administration said the noise levels did not follow the limit set under Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules.

"Accordingly, action under Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 has been proposed," the Chandigarh administration said in the affidavit.

Dosanjh announced that he would not be performing live in India until the infrastructure of the country improves during a concert in Chandigarh.

"Instead of bothering us (artistes), improve your concert infrastructure or I will not perform in India... I want to say this to the administration. We do not have proper facilities for live shows here.It is a big revenue source. A lot of people work (on these events) and get employment due to it.
