Pune Authorities Consider Webcasting Bars' Entry
Real Estate Pune:The Pune Porsche crash, which claimed the lives of a techie couple, has sparked a heated debate about the accountability of bars and pubs in the city. The 17-year-old accused, who spent nearly Rs 70,000 on liquor at two bars before the fatal crash, has brought the spotlight on the need for stricter regulations.

In response to the incident, Pune authorities are considering livestreaming the entry and exit points of all pubs and bars in the city to ensure better adherence to rules and regulations. This move aims to prevent minors from entering these establishments and to monitor their operating hours.

According to an official, the webcasting of entry and exit points will help authorities keep a close watch on closure timings and ensure that these establishments comply with the prescribed time limits. The official cited the successful use of webcasting during elections, where more than 50% of polling booths were webcast, allowing authorities to monitor the events unfolding outside.

However, the sudden clampdown on bars and pubs has sparked protests from thousands of employees who fear for their livelihoods. Nearly 2,500 employees and owners of pubs and bars gathered to protest against the actions taken by the local administration.

The incident has also seen multiple twists, with the minor's father, a real estate developer, and his grandfather being arrested for allegedly attempting to bribe their driver to take the blame. The Pune Police Commissioner also announced the arrest of two doctors from Pune's Sassoon Hospital for allegedly tampering with evidence in the case.
