The Maharashtra government has issued several guidelines for issuing licences to dance bars in the wake of a court order asking the government to allow dance bars to operate reported
Dance bar operators would have to provide live CCTV feed to the nearest police station in order to enable them to keep an eye on activities at the dance bar.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said: “We are not in favour of dance bars.”
However, the state has made it mandatory for dance bar operators to comply with all 18 guidelines. The primary objective of the guidelines is to provide security and avoid exploitation of dancers. The chief minister said: “So far, all the 34 requests for new licences have been rejected as none of them fulfilled the parameters.”

Besides, the Court allowed the state to implement measures to protect "the individual dignity of a woman". Having a live CCTV feed to the police station where the constables get a free show every night hardly protects any dignity. Why don't we ask the bars to supply a few pegs to each station as well.
