Delhi's night 'out'?

Till now, they were the talk of the town, where everybody went to be seen. We're talking of the myriad pubs and nightclubs that have cropped up all over the Capital and gave its nightlife a much wanted shot in the arm. But now, all that may change. With the Delhi High Court directing the MCD bulldozers towards the commercial establishments in these urbanised villages, the most hit will be these nightclubs. The ones to go? Sources say that the hit list includes most of South Delhi's hot spots like Bistro, Mocha, Tonino, many speciality restaurants along the Mehrauli-Gurgaon road... the list is endless. So effectively, Delhi's nightlife is hiccuping again."It is sad that the capital of the second most populated country in the world offers no options for those who want to enjoy a night out. Life is all about options. Take Los Angeles or New York, or even Singapore and see how the people there liven up the nights. Such a move can affect tourism, economy and most of all, the mindset of the people,"says Peter Punj of Climax, one of the few 'legal' pubs in South Delhi.
