Latest News about Mohit Chauhan
Mohit Chauhan urged the adoption of an animal birth control programme for street dogs as a humane solution amid ongoing Supreme Court hearings on stray dog management in Delhi-NCR. He advocated for sterilisation, vaccination, and community-based care over removal to shelters, highlighting cultural values and ecological roles of strays. This call followed his criticism of a court directive to capture and house stray dogs without returning them to streets.
Renowned playback singer Mohit Chauhan faced a legal controversy with US-based event management company ProMarcom Inc, which accused him of breaching a contract by cancelling three concerts. The company demanded approximately $500,000 (Rs. 3.18 crore) in compensation for the breach, though the singer was originally scheduled to perform in the US.
