Police in Phool Nagar have arrested a shopkeeper for playing a classic Noor Jehan song at an excessively loud volume.
According to reports, officers from the Sadar Pattoki Police Station were informed that a shopkeeper in a local market was blasting Madam Noor Jehan’s famous track “Weikh We Din Charrheya Ke Nahin”, disturbing nearby residents and passersby.
Responding promptly, the police arrived at the scene, arrested the man, and registered a case against him under the Punjab Sound System (Regulation) Act, 2015.
This isn’t the first such incident this month — earlier, a rickshaw driver was also booked for playing a song by well-known Pakistani singer Naseebo Lal at high volume.
