Diljit Dosanjh’s Delhi concert on October 30 is set to take place under heightened security, with around 2,000 private guards expected to be deployed at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Reportedly, authorities are also planning traffic restrictions, additional parking facilities and a pedestrian-only zone to manage the expected crowd and prevent congestion around the venue.

The measures come after Delhi Police initially withheld permission for the event, citing security concerns and the additional law and order responsibilities during the festive season. Following discussions with the organisers and the submission of a revised security plan, permission was reconsidered and granted.

Enhanced security and traffic restrictions planned

According to a report by The Indian Express, Delhi Police recommended deploying between 1,500 and 2,000 private security guards, more than the 400 initially proposed by the organisers. The expanded security arrangements are intended to manage the large turnout expected at the stadium, which has a capacity of approximately 55,000 people.

Organisers have also been asked to arrange additional parking spaces and coordinate with cab aggregators and navigation platforms. These measures are aimed at improving pick-up and drop-off arrangements while reducing traffic congestion before and after the show.
