Ordering a crackdown on people playing “double-meaning” Bhojpuri songs in public, the Bihar Police said it was a “burning social problem” that imperilled women’s security, besides having a perversive effect on the psyche of children.<\/p>\n
A circular issued by the state Police Headquarters said those playing these songs at public functions, buses, trucks and auto-rickshaws will be booked under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Samhita.<\/p>\n
The circular, issued on Friday, was sent to all Inspector Generals (IGs), Deputy Inspector Generals (DIGs) and the railway police.<\/p>\n
“A special drive must be carried out across the state to identify those who indulge in such activities and promote vulgar and double-meaning Bhojpuri songs. It becomes embarrassing for women when they hear such vulgar and double-meaning Bhojpuri songs at public places, functions, buses, trucks and auto rickshaws,” it said.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes they feel insecure also when such songs are played. Strict action should be taken against those who are caught violating the directive in this regard,” it added.<\/p>\n
The issue was earlier raised in the assembly as well.<\/p>\n
Congress MLA Pratima Kumari had raised the issue in the assembly two years back, demanding action against those who promote such songs.<\/p>\n
The state government had assured legislators that strict action would be taken against those who promote “obscene and double meaning” Bhojpuri songs in films and on social media.<\/p>\n
