The much-awaited Lucky Ali concert, slated for Saturday at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, was postponed due to security reasons, organisers said.

The concert, organised by NGO Seher and OXFAM International to create awareness among the youth about the plight of ordinary farmers in India, was cancelled Saturday morning.

"The concert was postponed by the Delhi administration citing some security reasons. We are not sure but it may happen in December," said Sanjeev Bhargava of Seher.

"We regret the inconvenience but there is nothing we can do about it now. However he said that since it was a free for all concert, it wasn't much of a loss for the organisers," Bhargava added. He said he received the information at 10.30 this morning.

However, police denied that the event was cancelled due to security reasons.

"It was not cancelled due to security reasons. The organisers were earlier planning for a different venue but later decided to hold it at the stadium.

"But two other events going on in the same venue led to the decision," said Anil Shukla, additional deputy commissioner of police, south Delhi.

In September, Shah Rukh Khan's 'Temptation 2005' at the same venue was cancelled as Delhi Police denied permission to stage it.
