Security has been tightened in Indore ahead of Diljit Dosanjh's concert on November 15, with police keeping a close watch on preparations amid reports of threats to the event. The Punjabi singer and actor is expected to perform at the Delight Dastoor ground on the bypass, where a large turnout is anticipated. However, the concert's final permission is still under review and will depend on whether the venue meets all the required safety standards.
Police officials and the organisers have discussed around 60 to 70 security points, with a final inspection of the venue scheduled for Saturday. DCP Aman Rathore said BookMyShow had submitted the application for permission. The
organisers have also been given a list of instructions covering crowd management, volunteers, fire and electrical safety, medical facilities and traffic arrangements.
The arrangements will include drone surveillance, police personnel at key locations and baggage scanners at entry points. Audience members will have to undergo security checks before entering, while tickets and passes will be verified strictly.
Rathore also confirmed that police had received reports of threats linked to the concert. The Crime Branch and other police units are keeping a close watch on the situation, with security arrangements and checks being monitored round the clock.
