Administration grants nod to Satinder Sartaj’s concert with riders
Singer Satinder Sartaj’s much awaited show which had courted a controversy and had been challenged amidst a petition by a Kapurthala resident, has been given a go-ahead by the Kapurthala administration. However, 16 conditions, through a letter, have been placed on the conduct of the show to avoid inconvenience to the public and citizens.
Singer Satinder Sartaj’s show will now be held as scheduled at the Guru Nanak Stadium in Kapurthala on November 10. The Kapurthala administration Kapurthala has written to the manager, Firdaus Production Private Ltd on November 7, stating that the show may be held on 16 conditions which include no inconvenience be posed to any citizen; the show must be videographed; no damage to public property may be caused; CCTV cameras may be installed, separate parking may be organised, among others.
A letter issued by the Deputy Commissioner Kapurthala to the manager of Firdaus Production Private Ltd states that the managers must ensure to not let the public face any kind of trouble during the event. The venue of the event should be at a distance of 100 meters from the traffic road. The managers will be responsible for the parking. Full lighting should also be arranged. No electricity wires should pass above the venue.
The letter says in case of any accident, managers will be held responsible.
Any kind of digging or demolition in Guru Nanak Stadium has also been completely prohibited. Instructions have also been issued to submit the GST to the Assistant Commissioner of Excise for selling tickets and to make arrangements for a doctor. District Magistrate Amit Panchal said that after receiving these OCs from all the departments, his office has issued the permission letter with conditions. If the managers violate these conditions, appropriate action will be taken against them. The singer had been summoned by the Court of Civil Judge in Kapurthala to appear on October 30, following a petition filed by a Kapurthala resident which claimed that the concert will disrupt the daily practice of sportsmen who use the stadium.
