Debojit to perform live in Shillong

Shillong, May 4 (UNI) Winner of Zee TV ''Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2005'' Debojit Saha will be performing at a charity show here on May 13, just one day ahead of the mega concert by international rock band ''Air Supply''.

The show, organised by the Ardhendu Chaudhuri Charitable Trust, will also include a fashion show and performance by Mumbai-based Indi-pop band ''Bombay Beats''.

''People from all over the North East offered their support to Debojit. He is not just any other singer. There is a sentimental chord attached to him. We are sure that people would turn up in large numbers to watch him perform live, though there would be performance by an international band the very next day,'' said Mr Manas Chaudhuri, MLA and managing trustee of the Ardhendu Chaudhuri Charitable Trust.

Debojit's recent performances in Asom had drawn overwhelming crowds, resulting in chaotic situations at several places. His show in Dibrugarh city had to be called off due to crowd trouble.

''We are expecting 10,000 people at the show. Adequate security measures will be taken to prevent occurrence of a situation similar to Dibrugarh,'' said Mr Chaudhuri.
