Police issue directives to club, bar operators across Coimbatore district
Coimbatore police have issued strict operational directives to local clubs and bars following recent violent incidents linked to liquor sales. Operators must now ensure compliance with membership rules, age restrictions, and surveillance requirements.
Why it matters
Local authorities are tightening regulations on nightlife venues to curb public nuisance and criminal activity, reflecting broader efforts to maintain public order.
The Coimbatore City Police and the Coimbatore District (Rural) Police have issued directions to FL2 (clubs) and FL3 (bars in hotels) licence holders to strictly comply with norms with regard to their operations, in the wake of at least two murders and a clash that were linked to retail sale of liquor.
The police instructed operators of FL2 licensed clubs, locally known as ‘11 to 11 bars’, not to sell liquor to non-members as the licence is meant to sell liquor exclusively to registered members and eligible guests. Clubs were instructed not to sell liquor to persons below 21 years of age under any circumstance. They were told to maintain records of members.
