The Bihar government and the police administration have completely banned the broadcast of pornographic and two -interested songs at public places. Violation of this rule can also be sentenced to jail along with strict legal action. Keeping in mind women safety and respect, this decision taken is being appreciated all -round.
Neetu Chandra’s awareness campaign
Bihar Police has taken the help of film actress Neetu Chandra to promote this rule. He has issued a video message and appealed to the women to see pornographic Bhojpuri, Maithili, Magahi or Hindi songs playing in public places, bus, autos or other vehicles, then lodge it to the nearest police station. Also, the police has also ensured that the identity of the complainant will be kept secret.
Big relief for women
Bihar journalist Kajal Sharma says that Bhojpuri and other regional music used to have earlier clean films and songs, but in recent years the growing vulgarity has become a serious social problem. At the same time, welcoming the decision, Banker Sandipa Ojha said that women often struggle with this problem while traveling in public transport. Incidents of molestation and indecent behavior increase due to such songs.
What will happen when the rules are broken?
The Bihar Police Headquarters has directed all IG-DIGs that if a person is found playing obscene songs in public places, an FIR should be lodged against him under Section 296/79 of the Indian Justice Code and other provisions. This crime can also be jail for up to one year.
Society will also have to play a role
Police officers and social workers believe that only legal ban will not solve the problem, but the participation of society is also necessary. Folklore singer Sambhavi says that Bhojpuri has the best song-ghazals, but nowadays people have started considering slut songs as Bhojpuri music. We have to boycott such events and promote clean music.
DGP gave strict message
Bihar Police Chief DGP Vinay Kumar described the decision as an important step towards women safety and social reform. He said that the trend of obscene dance and singing in marriage and other celebrations has increased, which promotes wrong mindset towards women in the society. He appealed to women to oppose this obscenity.
Important steps towards women empowerment
Student Kaushiki says that if porn songs are not allowed near the school-college, then incidents of tampering can also stop. Housewife Alpana Sharan believes that this decision will definitely reduce crimes against women, although it will take time to see its effect.
Society will have to change the attitude
Film actress Neetu Chandra says that there is a lot of good in Bihar that can be heard and shown. We have to boycott obscene songs completely and society will also have to support this change.
This decision of the Bihar government is a historic step to promote women’s safety and respect. Now it will be important to see how effective the society and police-administration make this rule.
