Mumbai: Believe it or not, Police stations in Mumbai may get live feed from dance bars, if the newly drafted rules and regulations of Maharashtra government for the dancer bars are passed.
The government has drafted a set of rules to facilitate re-opening of the dance bars in the state, after the Apex Court in October overturned Maharashtra government’s ban on dance bars, saying it violated bar dancers’ right to earn a livelihood.
As per a Mumbai Mirror report, if the rules are approved, then every dance bar in the city will have to install CCTV cameras and beam the live feed to the nearest police station.
This rule will surely not be acceptable to the owners as well as the customers of dance bars for the very obvious reason.
The draft rules also restrict the number of dancers on the floor and also prescribe a minimum distance between the performers and the audience, meaning customers can’t dance on the floor and cannot flash currencies on the dancers.
