Parties move from pubs to farmhouses

With police cracking the whip on pubs and other places of amusement such as lounges and hookah centres, many youngsters choosing farmhouses located on city outskirts to celebrate the weekends. Police said many owners are converting their farmhouses into commercial amusement places without proper permits and attracting youngsters to organise parties there. Chevella DSP K Silpavalli told Express that they have specific information that many owners of farmhouses are involved in organising parties illegally. “We are keeping a vigil on such activities and will take stern action against the owners for violating rules. Police will not object if anyone organises personal events or family functions at farmhouses. But, they should not be used as commercial places, inviting people and charges amounts,” she added. Ahead of the New Year, Ranga Reddy police will issue notices to all farmhouse owners not to indulge in organising commercial events or parties in respective farmhouses without permission.
