The Mumbai Pradesh Youth Congress (MPYC) will urge chief minister Pritiviraj Chavan not to consider the proposal by Yuva Sena chief Aditya Thackeray “to have all-night bars and restaurants under the garb of promoting the city’s economy and tourism.”

MPYC president Ganesh Yadav said: “This will only result in law and order problems and pose a huge nuisance to residents.’’

The MPYC plans sumbit a memorandum to Chavan opposing Thackeray’s proposal. As per the proposal, while bars and hotels in commercial areas can apply for all-night permission, those in residential areas will have to get approval of 70% of residents.

“The BMC can only make a recommendation to the state government which is the only authority to amend the Shop and Establishment Act,’’ said a senior deputy municipal commissioner.

Chavan will seek the opinion of the civic and police chiefs before considering to amend the Act.
