In addition, the organisers have also been asked to ensure that no children are allowed to enter the concert venue without earplugs or any other form of hearing protection. They have also been asked to follow noise control protocol and not exceed levels beyond 120 decibels. 

Coldplay has been instructed that if they fail to comply with any of these, strict action will be taken against them by the District Child Protection Unit in Ahmedabad city. 

The notice is a result of a complaint filed by Pandit Rao Dharnevar, Assistant Professor of Sociology in Chandigarh. The professor complained that such loud sounds played for a large amount of time can be extremely harmful to a child’s physical and mental health.
