Hey Pune party-goers, it looks like there’s some drama happening in the city’s nightlife scene. With the recent crackdown on underage drinking and drug use in pubs and bars, Ajinkya Shinde from the United Hospitality Association (UHA) is speaking up.
Shinde is calling for a more streamlined licensing process for Pune’s 3,300 licensed FL3 bars, which include all your favorite spots like pubs, lounges, and family restaurant bars. Apparently, these establishments are facing some challenges that could potentially label them as illegal.
One of the major issues? Guests using empty spaces to dance, especially on weekends. Shinde says this trend is on the rise and is actually helping the businesses grow. So, why not make it easier for them to operate legally?
That’s where the single-window licensing system comes in. Shinde is asking the government to simplify the process so that businesses can comply with the law and even bring in more revenue for the city. It’s a win-win situation!
Shinde also stressed the need for collaboration between the authorities and the hospitality industry. It’s all about finding solutions together to keep the city’s nightlife thriving while also respecting its cultural heritage.
With a smoother licensing process in place, the UHA believes that Pune’s hospitality sector will not only benefit but also contribute to the city’s overall development and regulation. So, here’s to more nights out on the town – legally and responsibly, of course!
