Following the anticipation of Coldplay’s concert in Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad dated January 25 & 26, 2025, the District Child Protection Unit of the state issued a strict notice to the singer Chris Martin, and the entire band to not use children in any form on the stage during the concert.

The organizers of the event have also been directed to not allow entry to any children inside the venue of the concert without earplugs or hearing protection. The Unit warned the organizers about the sound levels. The sound level, if exceeds 120 decibels will result in harmful damage to children’s health, and hence, the organizers have to maintain the level. They also made the concert venue aware that if the venue fails to follow any such rule, it will result in strict actions taken by the Child Protection Unit. This particular notice was issued after the complaint was filed by Pandit Rao Dharnevar, Assistant Professor of Sociology in Chandigarh.
