Rise in applications seeking nod for pool parties, but police playing it safe

BENGALURU: Bengaluru police are receiving a surge in requests for permission to organise pool party, but they’re not approving them. The reason? Concerns over substance abuse and safety.

With summer temperatures soaring, many citizens are eager to beat the heat with pool parties. However, the police are citing previous incidents of drug abuse at such events as the reason for denying permission.

The police say they are prioritising safety and law enforcement, and approvals for pool parties are being withheld to prevent potential misuse.
