Bhubaneswar: A large number of women who were working in dance bars here on Tuesday called on Excise officials and requested them to permit resumption of bar dance in the city.
While the Excise department and Twin City police, following series raids placed a curb on bar dance in Bhubaneswar, the action has reportedly rendered several women employed at these places jobless.
Though intellectuals welcomed the strict approach of state government, bar girls have protested it. The women said they were artists who performed in a closed space, and that it was not immoral or illegal.
“We earn bread for our families, attend ailing elderly parents, buy medicines, send our children to school with the earning from bar dance. If this stops, we will be forced to leave the state and move out,” the women said, requesting Excise officials to permit performance at dance bars in the city.
