A local resident has filed a civil suit against the organisers of Arijit Singh’s concert, alleging mismanagement that could endanger public safety. The suit filed by Manbir Singh Rathi through his counsel has named Tarish Entertainment Private Limited, district authorities and the local police as respondents.

The petitioner has raised concerns over inadequate security, crowd management and medical arrangements at the concert venue. He has also cited past incidents of poor event management, warning of potential chaos.

The district court has admitted the plea and issued notices to the organisers and the Police Department. The matter has been adjourned till tomorrow.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
