Late night fun and partying will not be the same in the Ramgarhtal area of Gorakhpur. Time limits are being imposed on late night activities in the floating restaurant and its associated bar and nightclub. Keeping in mind the safety and discipline, the Gorakhpur Development Authority (GDA) has decided to take strict action regarding night time activities.
In fact, some incidents of fights between some youths coming out of the floating restaurant had come to light recently. A video also went viral in which boys and girls were seen fighting with each other inside the bar. The local administration was worried due to these incidents happening under the influence of alcohol. After this, the GDA decided to change the timings of these places.
Nightclubs till 9pm
Now all bar and nightclub activities in floating restaurants can be done only till 9pm. They should not have a license till 12 midnight. The GDA clearly states that all businesses in its area will adhere to the stipulated time limit.
It is worth noting that earlier these activities were
allowed till 11 pm, which is now being reduced to 9 pm. However, there will be no restrictions on things like walking around the lake or walking on the footpath. People will be able to enjoy the view from the lake shore, but cruises, restaurants or adventure activities will be available only for limited hours. This decision will definitely affect floating restaurants and related businesses, but the GDA believes that this decision is necessary to keep the city’s atmosphere calm and safe. The order is likely to come into effect next week, after which there will be only silence after 9 pm.
