National Students Union of India (NSUI) president Atul Mhaske on Friday had given a tip-off to additional superintendent of police Vijay Magar to keep strict watch and take strong action on the discos of Pune.

Mhaske said, “Maya lounge, which comes under the jurisdiction of the rural police, is violating laws. The time limit given by the state excise department is 1.30 am and by the Pune police is 12.30 am, while this disco is open till 3 am. It was open till morning with the cooperation of the police.”

Mhaske added, “The pub has been found to give entry and serving alcohol to those below 18 years of age till late night. They do not even check for proof of age before serving alcohol and before giving an entry to the disco. Besides, they are also charging big amounts from youth as entry fees. There are no proper documents regarding permissions, certificates and licences to run a disco or pub. With these acts, they are polluting the culture of Pune, which is directly affecting the life of the students and young generation.”
