The policy comes in response to a surge in firing incidents, assaults, and public brawls linked to alcohol intoxication. Recent events include a viral poster for a nude party in the city, clashes between history-sheeters over betting money at Juke Bar, and links uncovered between local drug syndicate members and popular venues such as Sheemers Club, Mocca, and Semrock. During the meeting at the Red Cross Hall of the Collectorate, Collector Dr Gaurav Singh, accompanied by SSP Dr Lal Umed Singh and excise officials, emphasized zero tolerance for NDPS substances and dry intoxication inside bars and clubs.
Seven clubs and bars have already faced punitive action, receiving three-day license suspensions for violations of existing regulations. The administration warned that any further non-compliance will result in stern legal action and extended suspensions. To maintain transparency and public awareness, all establishments must prominently display their operating hours, legal age requirements, and warnings against drug use at their entrances. They must also provide contact numbers for the police and excise department to facilitate information sharing and complaints.
Under the new rule, no individual under the age of 21 may enter or be served at any bar or club. Operators are responsible for age verification and will face penalties for breaches. This measure is expected to deter underage drinking and reduce alcohol-related offenses. District officials will conduct regular inspections to enforce these directives and ensure Raipur’s nightlife adheres to the highest standards of safety and legality.
Sure, I can help rewrite the news article about the seizure of firecrackers in Odisha's Birmitrapur. The information from the search results confirms the authenticity of this event, which was part of a larger state-wide police action.
