The memorandum has signatures of Panvel residents supporting the cause. The group offered flowers to the cops to persuade them to heed their complaints.

The letter alleged that bars in Panvel were flouting government norms that require them to operate with certain riders. Some of the bars named are Suncity, Jagdamba, Maharaja, Sunny and Chanakya. NGOâu00c2u0080u00c2u0088chief Keval Mahadik said, "These bars are located near religious places. Also, the presence of drunk people on the streets makes it truly unsafe for women."
"There are too many children, senior citizens and impressionable teenagers in these areas. The Centre has banned liquor outlets on the highway. It should also ban bars in residential societies," said Rajshree Nimbalkar, a member of the NGO.
