New Delhi, February 27 A day before Punjabi singer Karan Aujla's India tour begins in the national capital, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) issued a notice to the organizers, stating that the health trade license obtained was not valid.
The "Temporary Health Trade License" obtained for the "P-POP Culture India Tour 2026 - Karan Aujla" event under the "Instant" category for an open space was not valid for an event being held inside a stadium, it said.
The concert is scheduled to be held at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on February 28.
The notice warned that the organizers must rectify the deficiencies and submit a compliance report before the commencement of the program, otherwise, action may be initiated under the provisions of the DMC Act without further notice.
The city's civic body has alleged procedural gaps and directed immediate corrective steps. In the notice, the MCD's Central Zone health department said that it had been brought to its attention that the event was being organized without obtaining proper approvals.
"It is mandatory that all food stalls and food outlets must obtain a valid health trade license before the event begins," the notice read.
Given the expectation of a large gathering, the organizers have been directed to ensure strict compliance with Solid Waste Management rules, including proper waste collection and segregation, and to install clear signage related to sanitation, waste disposal, emergency exits, and public safety, according to the notice.
"Provide adequate temporary toilets and urinals separately for men and women," the notice read.
The communication has been addressed to the organizing team, with copies marked to civic authorities to ensure adherence to health trade license requirements and other guidelines.
