As a resident of BTM layout, I'm absolutely against this decision. Shops here shut around 12 am only after a police car comes and warns them to shut. As it is there is a lot of noise pollution and we cannot sleep until 12 am. Now this nuisance will definitely affect the quality of life for my family as there will be more people and more noise until 1-2 am. Thoughtless decision.

as another resident of BTM layout, I am happy if shops stay open till 1am. I can go out and get groceries or late night munchies whenever I want. My house is not on the main road, but on a cross road nearby the shops. So the noise does not bother me as much. I welcome the decision.

Liquor flows freely in every street. Is this what Gandhi would have wanted? People hang out at these stores drinking and making a nuisance for as long as the stores are open. Easy availability of liquor hurts families in vulnerable sections of society most. There is a pattern of short-sighted move to raise revenues at the expense of common man.

Of course this is voluntary. One can also chose to close their shop at 9 pm. Don't you think so?

[@SunilSinghMr-Monk]

I don’t want to rub salt to the wound, however I can’t resist telling this : I wondered always why the rentals and property prices sky rocketed so much that it has gone in to the unaffordable zone. A city that has good roads, less traffic congestion, greenery, clean lakes, public parking, pedestrian zones, uninterrupted power supply, uninterrupted water supply (especially when it rains every monsoon). Bengaluru has none of the above, yet the real estate is insane. Only Malls and micro breweries can’t make a city amazing to live.

[@prakashth]

No water, and they want to open shops till 1pm?

[@vijaysrini27]

I usually go to a supermarket after 9 pm or 9:30 pm only, since it is less crowded at that time. Most of them currently close by 10 pm. So, I dont know how many shops will actually be open till 1 am.

[@galaxy1234]

Why are theynot allowed to remain open in the midnight in the first place? Yes it's unusual but why such a rule exists?

[@theridgelinestories]

Well. Mixed thoughts. Imagine commercial establishments very close to residential areas. There will be a lot of noise all around and it might disturb the peace and rest which 'majority' of the people will want post evening. On the other hand, I had personally done night shifts for 3 years approximately when I worked in those industries which demanded a 24x7 service. Yes I would have definitely liked it if shops would be open till late night or early morning. But let me tell anyone who is genuinely concerned about a good healthy life. It is bad. I could see my health suffer even though I was in my early twenties back then. Eating, drinking late and night, going to sleep in the morning feels good for once in a while as told by the health and wellness coach here. It is true. If you make into a lifestyle, it is bad. Hence, let the Government put new rules if they want. But we need to decide what's good for ourselves. It's better to live a healthy life rather than spending lakhs in a hospital later. Everyone has their own will and choice. Unless it disturbs the peace in a fully residential area and employees getting transport and compensation, I think its fine. Live and let live ✨️

[@adr2567]

No we’re not ready, this is a pretty stupid move weighing the small benefits to shops vs the huge burden it puts on those working in these shops. They’ll be forced to work longer hours on the same wage, and it’s not like the employer can say no, manpower is abundantly available in India. In addition, Bangalore police simply doesn’t have the capability to keep the streets safe so late at night (they already are failing badly), nor is the public transit ready for this shift. All in all, just the government wanting to make a bit more money and pocket it I think. Milking the cow that’s Bangalore!

all shops need to be allowed to open 24x7hr since IT companies work round the clock hence customers for shops available round the clock

Bangalore cannot support it, and our government employees will merely discuss it on paper. They need to figure out a way to clear the traffic first.

Our Kannada intellectuals, forefathers, Nehru and nation builders were not stupid as critizied by some pro capitalist ideologues for stagnating gdp growth, nation builder saw this coming and adopted Socialism that sustained india's vast diversity and population avoiding all above mentioned problems that come with large multi cultural muti lingual country since its independence.
