The Maharashtra government on Tuesday decided to include the dance bars in Mumbai under the recently announced ban on dance bars in the state.
A decision to this effect was taken at a Cabinet meeting, state government sources said.

An announcement is likely to be made by Deputy Chief Minister and Home minister, R R Patil, in the state legislature soon.
Patil had on March 31 announced a ban on dance bars in the state excluding Mumbai, for propagating obscenity.
He had said a policy for dance bars in Mumbai would be announced soon.
However, the government reportedly decided to act tough against Mumbai dance bars too and make no discrimination on the ban issue.
