A rave party in a club outside the city of Bangalore was raided by yet another self appointed custodian of morality. They thrashed the men and abused the women in the party till the police came and managed to separate the men clawing at each other. In another incident, the police have banned all live bands from performing in Bangalore. Sunday saw the artists, students and locals protesting against the order on MG Road in Bangalore.

If the problem is noise pollution then I feel the police should stop all religious and political rallies, celebrations and public processions too. Street performances are seen as an important platform for the future growth of new music bands and theatre groups. Banning them would be curbing an outlet of new talent.
