No permission under law for DJs in public events, says Mangaluru Police Commissioner
Mangaluru: City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy has clarified that, in accordance with the law, performances by disc jockeys (DJs) will not be permitted during public events including festivities.
The senior officer responded to a demand made by the members of the association in-charge of providing loudspeakers and decorations during celebration of festivals at public places. The members, who called a press meet on Wednesday, had warned of denying the facilities for any public event if they were not permitted to install loudspeakers and provide decorations for the programs they had specified.
Reddy, who commented on the threat, said that the association members had the freedom to boycott an event.
“We will make due provisions to ensure the celebrations do not disturb the public, senior citizens, students and patients. Senior police officers including the Deputy Commissioner, Additional Superintendent of Police and Assistant Commissioner will hold a meeting with the Ganeshotsava organizers on Thursday to discuss this issue and finalize things. While there can be exemption to some of the rules for justifiable reasons, the exemption cannot be considered the new rule,” he warned.
