Mumbai: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Thursday said Mumbai s nightlife is a different world altogether and is also the need of the hour for the metropolis which is home to a large number of youths and people from different strata of the society.
Mumbai s nightlife policy, said to be the brainchild of Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray of the Shiv Sena, came into force early last year, offering an opportunity to people to shop, dine and explore round-the-clock a city that never sleeps.
Under the policy, malls, multiplexes and shops in Mumbai were allowed to function day and night. Pawar was speaking on the occasion of inauguration of heritage walk of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) headquarters in south Mumbai.
