After miss nepal has been cancelled, I am not amazed to see this decision . Everybody knows most of the clubs hits its prime at about midnight.  I am sure there is more to come from this maoist led government.

 

When all the world are moving forward seems like we are moving backward.

 

Police to curtail capital's night life

Kantipur Report

KATHMANDU, Sept 7 - Bad news for weekend revelers. Late night disco-hoppers and dance bar goers in the capital better forget about night time unwinding as the authorities have issued a notice calling on disco and bar owners to close after 11pm.

Superitendent of Police Sarbendra Khanal, Chief of Metropolitan Police Range, said the move has come into effect in the Valley to prevent hooliganism and maintain law and order.

On Friday, a huge number of youths planning on staying out late were in for a surprise when restaurants and discos at the major night life hubs like Thamel and Lazimpat, which used to stay open till the wee hours, were ordered to close shop at 11pm.

With Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Bam Dev Gautam speaking about improving law and order in the country within a few days, a large number of police has been deployed during night time.

"In an attempt to thwart hooliganism and maintain law and order in public places, police have come up with strict rules for late night discos and dance restaurants," confirmed SP Khanal, adding that hundreds of police personnel have been deployed in various sections of valley in this connection.

According to him, police issued a notice to close before 11 pm some dance resturants and other establishments which create a noise in public, and strictly warned those who make a nuisance after drinking. 

In this connection, police on Friday and Saturday arrested dozens on the charge of hooliganism under the public offence act. SP Khanal said the police had not imposed any new regulations, but old regulations were being strictly enforced.
