The Bihar government has announced a strict crackdown on the playing of double-meaning and obscene songs in public places. Officials have been directed to take stringent action against those found guilty of violating this directive.
Government's Stance on Obscene Songs
The state government stated that such songs contribute to an increase in obscenity and violent incidents in society. The directive aims to curb the growing trend of playing vulgar songs at public gatherings, events, and even in public transport.
Action Plan for Enforcement
District magistrates and police superintendents have been instructed to ensure strict compliance. Special teams will be formed to monitor public events and take immediate action against violators. Penalties may include fines and legal proceedings under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Cinematograph Act.
The government has also appealed to the public to report any instances of obscene songs being played in public spaces. Citizens can file complaints through local police stations or the district administration's helpline numbers.
This move is part of a broader effort to maintain public decency and ensure a safe environment for women and children. The government emphasized that cultural events should promote positive values and not degrade societal norms.
