Restaurants serving and selling hookahs in the city will soon have to shut shop, as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to impose a ban on hookahs in restaurants.
On Thursday, the BMC told the court that it would take action against all hookah joints in the city. Municipal Commissioner Jairaj Phatak in his affidavit stated that hookah facilities being offered at various establishments are doing so in violation of licensing conditions. In view of this and in public interest, “action will be initiated wherever hookah facilities are being offered,” Phatak has stated.
