Maharashtra Chief Minister (CM) Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday stated that licences of orchestra bars will be cancelled in cases of repeated violations, and the state government will soon introduce a legal amendment to this effect.

Intervening during a debate in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly during Question Hour, Fadnavis recalled that the state had earlier enacted a law banning dance bars, but the legislation did not stand scrutiny in the Supreme Court and was held to be unconstitutional.
