Maharashtra CM accepts Aaditya Thackeray's proposal to revive Mumbai nightlife


Mumbai, Feb 18 (HT) : Shiv Sena youth wing chief Aaditya Thackeray said on Tuesday a proposal he had sent to chief minister Devendra Fadnavis to revive Mumbai’s nightlife had been accepted.

“Tweeps the GOOD News is CM has accepted my proposal of nightlife and assured me tht necessary amendments to laws by March/August Session (sic),” the chief of the Shiv Sena’s youth wing posted on Twitter.

“Shops and Establishments Act, and Police Act needs amendment which will be tabled in either budget or monsoon sessions of Assembly,” he wrote in another tweet.

The 1.30am deadline for restaurants and bars is likely to be discarded after the laws are amended, 24-year-old Aaditya, the son of Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, earlier said.

“Malls, clubs could stay open 24X7, along with chemists and convenience stores,” he tweeted.

Non-residential areas such as Kala Ghoda, Nariman Point, BKC can be ‘Special Entertainment Zones’ at night, he added. “Eateries, cafes, milk shops, chemists and malls and mill-malls (with all their establishments) can be given the option of staying open," he had said in a tweet.

“I have evolved as a night person… I don't think noise will be a problem… Mumbai is a safe city. It works on trust,” the Yuva Sena chief told NDTV on Tuesday.

“We are working on a plan whereby if 90% residents agree on bars in residential areas like Carter Road to remain open, then they will be allowed to stay open,” he added.

“I am also speaking to the transport department for trains and other things to stay open,” Aaditya said.

Fears have been mounting that the once flourishing party scene in the home of Bollywood is in decline as police enforce a raft of restricting measures.

The strict regulations include early closing hours, excessive red tape and outdated overcrowding rules.

    I am sure most of the writers on this forum/article have visited Bangkok and other night spots in the far east to enjoy and are now commenting on moral values, gambling, drinking, brawls and so on. The same way you spend your day, spend the night. Matter of choice. Should be optimistic and ignore the minor incidents which are surely going to take place. It will surely not be like a all india riot.

    Atleast the young Thackeray had the guts to put this policy forward. Mumbai is the commercial capital of India and if we have the required checks in place, then Mumbai will have the best night life of all cities.
    Its a welcome decision. But good security arrangements should be made to prevent all goons (including moral police) from creating problems.

    Speaking in Delhi on Tuesday, Modi said,"We consider the freedom to have, to retain, and to adopt, a religion or belief is personal choice of a citizen… My government will ensure that there is complete freedom of faith and that everyone has the undeniable right to retain or adopt the religion of his or her choice without coercion or undue influence. My government will not allow any religious group, belonging to the majority or the minority, to incite hatred against others, overtly or covertly. Mine will be a government that gives equal respect to all religions.”

    It is hotelier lobby in background to push this proposals. After new govt. in Maharashtra builders and hoteliers are become active in lobbying to get their legal/illegal work to be done smoothly. PEACE LOVING PEOPLE MAY GET DISTURBED AND THERE IS CHANCE OF ANTISOCIAL ELEMENTS GROWTH.

    Night life is when you get up with a hangover in the morning. Night life is when everybody says what the hell and you do not remember who paid the bill. Night life comes out of a bottle and goes into a jar. This history is inscribed on menus and via half-remembered conversations, love affairs, drunken fights, and years of drug abuse. Then we think the world we once knew is no more for you###

    Night life revival is o.k. provided law and order machinery is able to tackle the problems associated with night life.
    Too much of night life spoils the youth and their work life.

    Sir...
    Define 'Proper Proportion'?
    it differs from wife to wife, husband to husband, boy to boy, girl to girl
    and so on. Is it not?
    If all knew 'proper proportion' then there would not have been 'chaos' in this world!
    Proper Proportion or rather not knowing it is the 'root cause' for all disturbances. Politicians as a class never know a thing about it!.under such circumstances 'reviving or starting night life'! That too in Mumbai!!
    Wait for the 'Trailer' boss!!

    As it is in the mornings the beaches and parks are overcrowded with people squirming around on each other's legs and what not. In every nook and corner a couple can be spotted playing 'kootchie'-kootchie'. Now if 24 into 7, night-life and all, then there will be open 'Khol-Philis' too in beaches...with the support of the dark!!!. I think first all Metro's should be thrown open to 'quality education imparting' at very little or no cost. The 'base' should be strong before we venture into all these adventures which are really fraught with risk at this stage at least.
