Kunickaa Sadanand reacts to Diljit Dosanjh concert row: There is a security problem in our country
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 25 (IANS) Actress Kunickaa Sadanand has reacted to the controversy surrounding Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjhs Delhi concert, saying security concerns in the country cannot be ignored. Her remarks came amid reports that Delhi Police had granted permission for Diljits concert at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on October 30, a day after reportedly refusing clearance over security concerns. Speaking to IANS, Kunickaa said security issues had become a concern, pointing to incidents of violence involving celebrities. Well, there is a security problem in our country. As you can see, every day some or the other celebrity is shot, attempted murder, assassinated. So, due to security reasons, it got cancelled, she said. The actress added that she was unsure whether the decision to cancel the concert was taken by Diljit or the government. I don't know if Diljit did it or the government did it. If the government didn't do it, it means they don't know how to control and keep law and order in the country. Our citizens are safe here, she added. The concert, scheduled for October 30 at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, faced uncertainty after Delhi Police initially withheld permission citing security concerns. However, the police later granted clearance following discussions with the organizers and a review of the safety arrangements. BookMyShow Live clarified that the concert had not been cancelled at any point. The clearance was temporarily kept on hold while officials assessed the proposed security arrangements. We, with Delhi Police, are committed to ensuring a good experience for attendees as well as local commuters, the organizers said in a statement. In a letter dated October 21, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Anant Mittal had declined permission for the concert, referring to specific threat-related intelligence and the polices security and law-and-order responsibilities during the festive period. However, the authorities did not disclose details of the alleged threats. The Delhi concert will mark the beginning of the India leg of Diljit Dosanjhs Aura World Tour. The singer is scheduled to perform in Indore on November 15, Ahmedabad on November 21, Mumbai on November 27, Bengaluru on November 29, and Lucknow on December 5.

Lawyers protest against demolition of chambers in Lucknow
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 25 (IANS) Several advocates in Lucknow on Sunday staged a sit-in on a street to protest the demolition of more than 200 lawyers chambers by the city's Municipal Corporation following a High Court order. Earlier on Sunday, police and administration officials arrived at the site to conduct the demolition, drawing strong objections from the lawyers, who began a sit-in on the road against the proposed action and demanded an alternative arrangement to continue their legal practise. Speaking to IANS, advocate Balram Jakhar said, They are acting arbitrarily. First, provide us with an alternative arrangement, and then demolish the chambers. At least 2,000 advocates are suffering. Diwali is such a major festival, yet we are being left in darkness. How can this government function like this? It is behaving like goons...our homes (chambers) are being snatched in front of our eyes. How can we tolerate this? Expressing frustration over not being provided alternative arrangements, he said, They (administration) are only after demolishing the chambers and are not making efforts in providing us an alternative...either break us or send us to jail, then demolish our chambers, otherwise we will strongly oppose it. Asserting that the lawyers won't allow the demolition, Jakhar said: We will do whatever it takes to stop this. Further, he alleged that administration officials and the police are trying to remove the protesting lawyers from the site, saying: They are trying to suppress us. If they demolish our chambers, we will have to practise on the roads, so we have already taken it to the streets, he added. While acknowledging that the action is being taken on the orders of the High Court, the advocate said: We respect the court orders, but there should have been a way out. There is complete arbitrariness, and no one is willing to hear us out. We are lawyers, not goons or mafias, who can be subjected to such torture. We are an important section of society who ensure justice for people, he stated. Earlier, a similar controversy had erupted in Uttar Pradesh over the demolition of an illegal mosque located within the Saharanpur Collectorate complex. The demolition had taken place after the Muslim sides appeal was rejected by the court.
