The Pune district administration is considering a unique solution to crack down on pubs serving liquor to minors – webcasting. District Collector Dr. Suhas Diwase proposed this idea to monitor clubs and bars, drawing inspiration from the successful use of webcasting during elections at polling stations. The aim is to create a safer nightlife environment by deterring illegal activities like serving alcohol to minors or operating beyond permitted hours.
While the proposal has received attention, it has also sparked debate among stakeholders. Members of the hotel association are willing to cooperate but have raised concerns about the financial burden of implementing webcasting. They urge authorities to cover the costs, considering the challenges faced by establishments operating late at night.
The Excise department has acknowledged the proposal but noted that it is still in the early stages. Key considerations include staffing levels and management strategies. The oversight of the webcasting system within clubs and bars is still under discussion.
