1. DGP will formulate SOP for regulating music concerts, movie releases: State tells Madras HC
The Tamil Nadu government informed the Madras High Court of having asked the Director General of Police (DGP) to formulate a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) at the earliest for regulating public events such as music concerts, audio or trailer release of new movies and the release of the movies in order to maintain public order and avoid untoward incidents.
Chief Justice S.V. Gangapurwala and Justice D. Bhartha Chakravarthy recorded the submissions and disposed of a public interest litigation (PIL) petition filed by S. Ayyaa of Tirunelveli. The petitioner had sought a direction to the State government to regulate the public events citing public annoyance and death of fans’ lives.
