Honey Singh’s Chandigarh concert sparks row; Punjab BJP leader seeks cancellation, roads diversion after 4:PM

The most well-known rapper in India, Yo Yo Honey Singh, is scheduled to perform at the Chandigarh Sector 25 Rally Ground today. However, before the event, Punjab BJP leader Subhash Sharma wrote to Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria to request that the concert be canceled on March 23 because it is Martyrdom Day. On the other hand, Sector 25 has handled all of the concert's preparations, and the majority of the tickets have been sold. Additionally, Chandigarh Police has released an advisory that the roads will be diverted after 4 PM.
