The 1.30am deadline for restaurants and bars were likely to be discarded after the laws are amended, 24-year-old Aaditya, the son of Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, said. “Malls, clubs could stay open 24X7, along with chemists and convenience stores,” he tweeted earlier.
Eateries, Cafes, Milk Shops, Chemists and Malls and Mill-Malls (with all their establishments) can be given the option of staying open

Non-residential areas like Kala Ghoda, Nariman Point, BKC can be special entertainment zones at night, he added. “Eateries, Cafes, Milk Shops, Chemists and Malls and Mill-Malls (with all their establishments) can be given the option of staying open,” he had said in a tweet.

Mumbai residents however are thrilled with this news and have taken to Twitter to express their joy. Since the news of this proposal broke, Mumbaikars have been tweeting out their thanks and have made #mumbai24hrs and #MumbaiNightLife top trending topics on the social media site.
So #MumbaiNightLife gonna get a boost. If city admin is in place & residential areas demarcated there's no reason not to party all night.
