The panel has been tasked with drafting a comprehensive, industry-friendly SOP based on the central government’s model for live event clearances. The SOP will cover all live events and concerts, addressing coordination and related issues. It will also facilitate the development of a single-window clearance system to grant all necessary permissions in line with the SOPs. According to a Government Resolution (GR), the initiative aims to position India as a leading destination for live entertainment, in line with the Centre’s establishment of a Live Events Development Cell.

At present, organising an event requires 10 to 15 clearances from multiple agencies, including the fire brigade, police, electricity providers, and taxation departments. To streamline and standardise the process, the state has decided to adopt a model SOP, the GR states. The DGIPR has been appointed as the nodal officer for organising live events, concerts, and related programmes.

The office has been directed to develop a dashboard and an appropriate system, for which an external agency will be appointed. The state government has approved the hiring of such an agency.
