Pune Police Form Joint Committee to Monitor Pubs, Bars
The Pune Police are setting up a special group to keep an eye on the bars and restaurants in certain areas.
This group will make sure these places follow the rules about things like opening hours, parking, and noise.
The police are doing this because people who live nearby have been complaining about problems like loud music and not enough parking.
The group will include police officials, city government representatives, and local citizens.
They will take action against any bars or restaurants that break the rules.
Pune Police Commissioner formed a joint committee to discipline pubs, bars, and restaurants in Kalyani Nagar, Koregaon Park, and Mundhwa.
The committee will check for violations, including operating hours, parking, traffic congestion, and illegal activities.
