These eating joints in the past have witnessed several midnight brawls too and despite multiple objections by the residents no major crackdown has taken place on late night eateries yet.The sources informed TOI that whenever a crack down is conducted on late night joints, some market associations come down heavily on the administration. “Generally there are no such norms which stipulate timing for a shop except for liquor shops. But they do pose a law and order problem and we ask them to close it at least by 10pm,” an official said.
