The Thane district authorities have issued a notice to the organisers of British band Coldplay's upcoming concert in Navi Mumbai, asking them not to allow participation of children "in any form on stage" at the event.

Also, no child should be allowed to attend the concert without earplugs or hearing protection, the district child protection officer said in a notice to the event organisers.

As part of their 'Music of the Spheres World Tour', the British band has three shows scheduled at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai area of Maharashtra's Thane district on January 18, 19 and 21.

 

Following a complaint lodged by a Chandigarh resident, raising concerns about children's safety during the event, the Thane district authorities on January 14 issued the notice to the concert organisers, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and the event ticketing partner BookMyShow.

The notice warned the organisers and Martin to "not use children on stage in any form", citing concerns about high sound levels exceeding 120 decibels and flashing lights at such shows, which could pose health risks to children.

"Do not allow any child to enter into the concert without earplug, hearing protection," it added.

The district child protection officer said strict action will be taken if the event organisers fail to comply with the notice.
