The Death of Live Brass Bands in Pune

      
                I recently read a news report in The Times of India dated 11th May, 2015; titled 'For bands, a low note and deafening silence' written by Mandar Deshpande and Neha Madaan. It was a poignant account of how live brass bands in Pune have been left without a source of income, after the judgment of the National Green Tribunal, restricted the performance of these live bands at wedding ceremonies.


               I suggest that Indian and foreign orchestra groups, performing artistes and the film and television industry could take their assistance in coming up with unique musical compositions; or incorporate their performance into their audio-visual content, so as to provide them with a dignified livelihood and make utmost use of their intrinsic talent.
               The Government should review its decision or rehabilitate them properly.
 
               Here's the scanned copy of that news report for your ready reference:

Will someone hear them out, ASAP?
