Goa Government Inspects Nightclubs for License Compliance

The Goa government has initiated a crackdown on nightclubs violating safety and licensing regulations ahead of the festive season, following a deadly fire at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub that killed 25 people. Inspection teams have already sealed two venues, Goya Club and Cafe CO2 Goa, for non-compliance, while additional establishments face license cancellations. Authorities have implemented a ban on liquor sales after 11 pm to address late-night violations. Meanwhile, the owners of the Birch nightclub have been arrested in Thailand, and a CBI team is overseeing their deportation process.
