Mumbai is called a city of dreams that never sleeps. But can the city that never sleeps be up and running 24×7? Well, Maharashtra’s tourism and environment minister Aaditya Thackeray thinks so. On 22nd January, the Maharashtra cabinet cleared a proposal to keep Mumbai open 24×7. The proposal came from a young politician and first time lawmaker Aaditya Thackeray. However, the proposal only covers eateries, shops, café and mall compounds in the non-residential areas but no bars or pubs. Though there were initial disagreements with the plan but the government finally agreed to roll it out.
