Tipplers might soon get to enjoy their drinks in pubs and bars in Bangalore till 2 am with Karnataka Government favouring extension of the business hours. Excise Minister B Renukacharya on Saturday indicated the government might concede the demand of pub and bar owners here to extend the business hours till 2 am from the present 11.30 pm. "The Chief Minister (B S Yeddyurappa) has been briefed on the issue and a decision is likely to be taken soon," he told reporters here. It is a long-pending demand of the pub and bar owners,who argue that curtailing night life in Bangalore,an aspiring global city,does not send right signals for the international promotion of the IT hub.
