The Pune police have decided to conduct surprise checks on hotels and restaurants in the city for overcrowding on the eve of the New Year.

A senior police officer attached with the city police told DNA, “The hotel and bars have a limited seating capacity. But on New Year’s eve, some of them increase the capacity as they are going to use other areas on their premises such as terraces and lawns to accommodate the people. If someone has not taken permission from us, then appropriate action will be taken against them,’’ he said.

Moreover, the police will take action by carrying out checks at these places and see if more patrons are allowed by the establishments than the permitted number.
The city crime branch police will coordinate along with the local police to check if hotels and bars allow more guests than the permissible capacity.

The officer said, “If the establishments are found violating the rules and allowing overcrowding of patrons, then action would be taken. They would have to flush out customers from the place,’’ he said.

If the authority has taken permission from the police, then they should provide enough parking space for the vehicles, otherwise, the police would take action against them.
