‘Area will certainly end up being the brand-new Kalyani Nagar …’

Now, after the performance was held regardless of the demonstrations, homeowners of Kothrud are worried that their location will certainly end up being the brand-newKalyani Nagar The homeowners required that organisers terminate upcoming programs and performances in their location, as they think these occasions will certainly bring problems like the open sale of alcohol, loud sound, and traffic congestion. The homeowners declare that they are opposed to those that ruin the society of Kothrud.

Satish Mulay, a citizen of Kothrud, stated, “We don’t want our area to become the new Kalyani Nagar. Nothing is in our hands; the politicians do what they feel is right. They don’t think about the residents, and now that BJP is ruling the entire nation, what can we say? They do what they like.”

Amol Shinde, one more citizen of Kothrud, stated, “We have been following up with the authorities for the past few weeks to cancel the concert, and the excise department banned liquor at the event. Even now, in December, there will be a lot of parties, and singer Sunidhi Chauhan’s concert is planned in Kothrud. We are opposing this because our area is a residential area, and there is a forest here. These loud noises and traffic congestion will not only impact the lives of residents but also the animals living in the forest.”

Shirish Murne, one more citizen, stated, “We have Sahyadri Hospital here, and patients are admitted there. Because of the loud music, they were troubled. Yesterday’s event got over by 10:30pm, but there was a massive traffic jam for almost two hours. It took us more than an hour to move just 1 km. These kinds of concerts are troublesome. What happens if an ambulance gets stuck in such traffic? Who will take responsibility? We have senior citizens residing in our area, and this loud music causes a lot of inconvenience. We don’t want this area to become a victim of pub culture.”

Alka Sawaikar explained, “There is a forest in our area, and it’s an eco-sensitive area. If loud music continues to persist, where will these animals go? We are constantly following up with the authorities. Yesterday, we staged a protest, and our message is clear. We want to protect the forest space and the animals living there. Such an event is a pest in society, and we want a peaceful Kothrud.”

Liquor certificate terminated

Meanwhile, in a final step, the state import tax division, on Sunday terminated the authorization for offering alcohol at Punjabi vocalist and star Diljit Dosanjh’s music performance in the Kothrud location of Pune city.
