The Punjab and Haryana High Court, as well as the Uttarakhand High Court, have already addressed similar issues concerning vulgarity and amplified music in public spaces. Panditrao&#8217;s ongoing PIL seeks a Censor Board to regulate and censor such harmful content in the music industry.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prof_Panditraos_Vision_for_Social_Change\"><\/span>Prof. Panditrao&#8217;s Vision for Social Change<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Prof. Panditrao&#8217;s campaign is part of a larger mission to bring about a drastic social change.
