Alcohol issues and Diljit Dosanjh concerts are going hand in hand nowadays. After the Telangana government’s notice now Maharashtra excise department on Sunday cancelled the permit for serving alcohol at actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh’s concert in the Kothrud area of Pune. After opposition to plans to offer alcohol at the event came from a variety of sources, including Chandrakant Patil, the recently elected BJP MLA for Kothrud, the department revoked the permit.
“The state excise department has cancelled the permission to serve liquor during the program,” stated C Rajput, the commissioner of state excises. MLA Patil objected to the concert that was planned for later that evening at Kothrud’s Kakade Farm. In a statement, the BJP leader claimed that such performances were not typical of the city. The local population will be greatly disturbed by this. Traffic delays will also result from the event. I have thus pleaded with the city police commissioner to call off the program.
