UT shifts AP Dhillon's show to Sec 25
Hindustan Times Chandigarh|December 18, 2024
Following complaints from residents and traders in and around Sector 34 about the severe traffic congestion, noise pollution, and disruption to businesses during the Karan Aujla and Diljit Dosanjh concerts, the UT administration has decided to shift the venue for AP Dhillon's concert, scheduled for December 21, to Sector 25.

CHANDIGARH:

The concert will be held at the rally ground in Sector 25, which is designated for protests, processions, and rallies with prior permission. The cremation ground is also located close by.

Confirming the development, Chandigarh deputy commissioner (DC) Nishant Yadav said, "After discussions with the officers concerned, we have decided to shift the venue for AP Dhillon's concert from Sector 34 to Sector 25. We have also informed the organisers about this change. Following the two major concerts in Sector 34, which is located in the heart of the city, we received numerous complaints about traffic snarls, noise pollution, and business disruptions."

The administration is unlikely to allow any concerts in Sector 34 in the future. However, events in Sector 25 also come with its own set of challenges. During rallies, commuters regularly travelling along the stretch between Sector 25/38 on Dakshin Marg and the road near Gate Number 3/UIET, Sector 14, face inconvenience due to road blockades. Police have not yet received the layout from the organisers, and a decision on granting a no-objection certificate will be taken once the layout is reviewed. Police sources revealed they are not in favour of granting the approval due the venue's proximity to PGI, educational institutions, and other sensitive areas.
