Chandigarh, Nov. 7 -- Child protection authorities in Madhya Pradesh's Indore have directed the management of C-21 Mall to ensure that Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh does not perform four songs allegedly glorifying alcohol, drugs and firearms during his November 15 concert, following a complaint by a Chandigarh-based professor.

The directive, issued on November 6 by the District Child Protection Officer of the Women and Child Development Department, cites a 2019 Punjab and Haryana High Court order concerning songs that glorify intoxicants and violence.

The four songs identified in the official communication are 'Patiala Pegg', '5 Taara Theeke', 'Jeeb Vicho Labbiya' and 'Jatt Uthe Fire Karda Jithe Pabandi Hathiyara Di'.
