KOLKATA: After over two years, nightclubs, discotheques and lounges in the city stayed open long after midnight this weekend following the withdrawal of night curbs.
As soon as the government announced the withdrawal of the night restrictions last week, several party places applied for special permission to remain open beyond midnight. Several stand-alone places were open till 2am and properties with three-star status or above were open till 4am. Owners and managers said the dance floor was packed till the DJ played the last track. This has already provided impetus to the business which was affected by the pandemic.
