Officials barred four songs from Diljit Dosanjh’s November 15 Indore concert, citing concerns about their content and the possible impact on children. The concert itself was not banned, according to a centre-side report.

The four songs named in the restriction are “Patiala Peg”, “5 Tara Theke”, “Jeb Vicho Feem” and “Jatt Fire Karda”.
The district child protection officer sent directions to the concert venue manager after receiving a complaint from Dr Punditrao Dharenavar.
The venue letter said children older than five could attend and warned that the songs could adversely affect them.
Reports cite a July 22, 2019 Punjab and Haryana High Court order concerning songs that glorify alcohol, drugs or violence at live performances.
A centre-side report says the concert was not banned; it also reports officials’ directions concerning children on stage and a faux bullet belt.
