Discotheques

Liquor shops, pubs, discotheques and clubs cannot be opened on any floor of buildings falling in residential areas in Delhi, according to the DDA, which today approved the proposed amendment in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021.

A discotheque hidden among the back alleys of eastern Seoul is packed with hundreds of grey-haired couples on a Monday afternoon, dancing to local hits from the 1960s in a basketball court-sized hall. Kim Sa-gyu, 85, calls it his "playground."

Shops, hotels and malls can now remain open round-the-clock through the week in Maharashtra, according to a new law, which will not apply to bars, pubs, liquor shops and discotheques, the state's Labour Minister Sambhaji Nilangekar-Patil said.

For popular Bollywood singer Arijit Singh's performance in Chandigarh on Saturday, the best seats have been reserved for the city's top bureaucrats, among them Home Secretary Anurag Agarwal, on whom fell the onus of defending a new policy for bars and discotheques in the city drafted by the babus, and arguably, for the babus.

Chandigarh's new rules for bars and discotheques do not ban short skirts. But they do empower bureaucrats to cancel permits if the establishments are considered "indecent or of a scurrilous character" or "seditious and likely to excite political discontent."

Serving liquor beyond the permissible time has led to a Rs 20 lakh penalty on the discotheque of a leading five-star hotel chain in Chandigarh, an official said today.

Delhi gang-rape

Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar and the Home Secretary RK Singh elaborated today on what action is being taken to make the capital safer. A national cry for change has reverberated since Sunday's gang-rape of a young woman on a moving bus in Delhi. Here, according to officials, are the steps introduced to improve security:

He faked his rank and uniform, drove in a stolen SUV, frequented discotheques and night clubs and did everything to impress girls. While none of this was part of his official duty, a disco-loving assistant sub-inspector (ASI) of Punjab police is now cooling his heels in the lock-up.

A disco-loving Chandigarh police officer who got embroiled in a row after misbehaving with two young women at a discotheque here has been suspended from his post, police said on Thursday.

A 26-year-old former nightclub bouncer and his girlfriend were on Tuesday arrested for allegedly murdering an elderly man inside a park in Indirapuram here. Rahul Kumar, a bouncer at Black discotheque in Pacific Mall and his girlfriend Himani Mehra alias Julie, 20, a hotel management graduate, were arrested for murdering retired LIC employee Shyam ...

He was the joint owner of a popular Chennai discotheque called HFO or Hell Freezes Over. That was before Dayanidhi Maran danced into national politics in 2004, the year when young India - most visibly represented by Rahul Gandhi - contested and won Lok Sabha seats in droves. It was the year of the babalogs and Maran was right there among the articu...

Attempts are being made to label the girl as 'bad character' citing her alleged love affair and her habit of visiting discotheques.
