Kothrud Residents Protest Diljit Dosanjh’s Pune Concert, Fear Area Turning into Kalyani Nagar
Real Estate Pune:Despite strong opposition from Pune Guardian Minister Chandrakant Patil and protests from Kothrud residents, the concert of Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh was held as scheduled on Sunday at Suryakant Kakade Farms in Kothrud without any hindrance. Patil had instructed the Pune Police Commissioner, Excise Department, and District Collector to cancel the concert, and he also announced that his party would organise a protest march if the event proceeded. It remains to be seen whether he will follow through with the protest.

Now, after the concert was held despite the protests, residents of Kothrud are concerned that their area will become the new Kalyani Nagar. The residents demanded that organisers cancel upcoming programs and concerts in their area, as they believe these events will bring issues like the open sale of liquor, loud noise, and traffic jams. The residents claim that they are opposed to those who spoil the culture of Kothrud.
