Delhi LG V K Saxena has allowed cafes and restaurants in Siri Fort Sports Complex, Qutub Golf Club and Bhalswa Golf Club here to remain open till 1 am from Wednesday, a move aimed at bolstering the city's nightlife ahead of new year festivities, officials said.

These DDA joints, run by private licensees and offering food and beverages, have a daily footfall that runs into thousands. Earlier, visitors to these complexes could avail of food and beverages only between 9 pm and 11 pm, officials said on Tuesday.

"This comes as a gift to the people of the city during the festive season and the forthcoming New Year. Starting today, residents will be able to avail and enjoy the richer night life at these premier locations. "The same would also result in increased economic activities resulting in more revenue generation," said an official.

The official added that a vibrant nightlife and robust nighttime economy are also being envisaged pro-actively and strongly in the Master Plan Delhi 2041.
