DJs, junkies under scanner

The noise levels, which must be within 45 decibels, should not be heard beyond the premises, and any complaints from the neighbours will be treated seriously, said the guidelines issued by the three police commissioners, adding that no live band should be performed in bars and restaurants.

“DJs will not be allowed in outdoor events and the noise levels laid under Central Pollution Control Board should be strictly followed. Singers should not go into the crowd but shall be in a separate earmarked place. No vulgarity or no obscene dressing or obscene dances should be allowed. The licencee shall be responsible for preventing use of drugs and psychotropic substances by the participants in the event or on the premises.

Organisers should pay special attention to parking areas and other places where drugs are clandestinely sold,” said the officials.

“The responsibility and liability for any loss/damage, nuisance etc. life and property as a sequel to the programme shall solely be of the licensee and any contravention will lead to criminal prosecution besides cancellation of licence in future. The organisers are warned not to display fireworks or allow any firearms at the venue of the event. Any act which is likely to cause disturbance or adversely affect the public safety or create hatred between different classes of people or cause injury to the religious feelings of any person or body of persons is prohibited,” Cyberabad police commissioner Stephen Ravindra said.

It should be the responsibility of the management to ensure that the above conditions are strictly implemented and any violation of the above conditions may result in prosecution and cancellation of the license,” read the guidelines issued by the commissioner.
