The Maharashtra government has introduced a new rule requiring all DJ Lavani events to obtain a suitability certificate before they can be held.
The Maharashtra government has announced that all DJ Lavani shows must now secure a suitability certificate before they can be staged.
The new directive, issued by the state's cultural affairs department, aims to ensure that performances meet safety and content standards. Organisers will need to submit details of the event, venue, and participants to obtain the certificate.
Industry insiders say the rule will add a layer of compliance but is expected to standardise event quality and protect audiences.
