Pune's police have intensified enforcement of a 10 pm closure for eateries and hawkers in an effort to curb crime, particularly in busy areas such as FC Road and JM Road. Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar stated that while public movement remains unrestricted, the focus is on preventing criminal gatherings. This enforcement has led to significant disruptions for restaurant owners, who report losses of up to 50% in weekend revenues as prepared food goes to waste. Many establishments faced confusion over the sudden changes, with some allowed to operate later than others. The Pune Restaurant and Catering Association expressed concerns over inconsistent enforcement and the lack of communication from authorities. Additionally, prohibitory orders have been issued ahead of the Eid al-Adha celebrations, banning gatherings and certain materials to maintain public order. The police aim to ensure clarity and uniformity in enforcement to support local businesses while addressing safety concerns.
