According to this new policy, anyone going to a disco in Chandigarh has to carry a valid photo ID card issued by a Govt. authority. I-Card has been made compulsory as Chandigarh Govt. wants the each disco situated in Chandigarh to keep a proper record of each person entering the night club.

New Policy for visiting a Night Club (Disco) in Chandigarh:

Some changes in the policy issued for night clubs, disco and bars in Chandigarh include:

  • Each disco in Chandigarh has been asked to keep male and female bouncers who are registered with Chandigarh Police.
  • Night Club management to keep a record of each person entering the disco premises with the help of Govt. issued ID-cards.
  • The closing time for all discos in Chandigarh has been reduced till midnight and no night club will be allowed to host guests for any kind of party beyond 12:00 AM.
  • Each night club located within Chandigarh to have a special smoking room with proper ventilation.
  • Emergency numbers like that of nearby police station etc. shall be displayed within the disco.

This new policy will help curb all such incidents and let Chandigarh people enjoy night life in the city. However, the new policy will come into effect from February 2016.
