The Maharashtra government on Tuesday decided to include the dance bars in Mumbai under the recently announced ban on dance bars in the state.
A decision to this effect was taken at a Cabinet meeting, state government sources said.
An announcement is likely
Patil had on March 31 announced a ban on dance bars in the state excluding Mumbai, for propagating obscenity.

However, the government reportedly decided to act tough against Mumbai dance bars too and make no discrimination on the ban issue.
