In 2016, laws had been imposed which laid down strict regulations and norms for the functioning of dance bars in Maharashtra.
Now the Supreme Court has stated that there will not be a total ban on the dance bars, however, there will be strict regulations in place.
For instance, there will be no CCTVs at the dance bars, however, alcohol will be allowed. Similarly, customers will be allowed to tip the dancers but they are no longer allowed to throw cash at them.
Moreover, the timing of the functioning of dance bars has been decided between 6 to 11.30 pm. Twitterati are divided in their opinions with respect to these regulations.
A lot of people are saying it is shameful. Check out what they have to say:
1.
SC has given verdict to start dance bar in Maharashtra with logic 1 lac people are affected due to ban.why not Goa mining? when 3 lac dependents are struggling to save their livelihood.
