Diljit Dosanjha’s Hyderabad concert is part of his Dil-Luminati Tour to 10 cities across India.

Diljit Dosanjh has received a notice from the Telangana government ahead of his Hyderabad show on Friday, November 15. A notice has been issued to the Punjabi singer-actor, asking him not to sing songs at the event that promote alcohol, drugs or violence. The notice has also warned Dosanjh not to “use children” during his show.  It further said loud sounds and flashing lights during the concert are harmful to the children.

Diljit Dosanjha’s Hyderabad concert is part of his Dil-Luminati Tour to 10 cities across India. Based on a representation from a resident of Chandigarh, the notice has been issued by the District Welfare Officer of the Department of Welfare of Women and Children, Disabled and Senior Citizens, Rangareddy.

The representation, submitted with video evidence, said that Daljit Dosanjh had already sung songs promoting alcohol, drugs, and violence during a live show in Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi last month, the notice pointed out.

For the unversed, Diljit Dosanjh’s India leg of the Dil-Luminati tour will cover 10 cities including Mumbai, Kolkata, Indore, Pune, and Guwahati. The singer kick-started his tour with a mega show in Delhi followed by Jaipur. The Delhi show was attended by over 35,000 people on a single day.

At the Jaipur concert, Diljit also apologized to the audience for the fake ticket scam. India Today quoted the singer saying, “If anyone has fallen victim to a ticketing scam, I apologize to that person. We have not done this. Authorities are currently investigating the matter. Stay away from those involved in the scam. Our tickets sold out so fast, even though we did not get to know.” When Dosanjh’s concert tickets went live, it got sold out within the blink of an eye. However, later on, people started re-selling the tickets for an increased price, and some even sold fake tickets.

The last show of Diljit Dosanjh’s Dil-Luminati tour will be held in Guwahati on December 29.
