The expeditious nature of the spread of the Omicron variant in the nation lately has sent government officials and businessmen scrambling at measures and protocols to combat a spread trend that looks eerily similar to the one seen a year ago, the first onset of the virus that prompted a nationwide lockdown.

With buzz around the valley all pointing to an impending lockdown, businesses fear the worst. Having to shut down their entire source of livelihood would have a detrimental impact on these businesses, barely making it back after navigating the tough waters that was the first lockdown. One such business severely impacted by the initial shutdown, and bearing a cautious apprehension over the next one, is the clubbing and bar scene within the valley. The clubs that mostly come alive come nightfall in the valley, it goes without saying, exclusively depend upon the influx of people, in large numbers at that, into their clubs; party-goers purchasing tickets, booze and everything they could desire for is how the clubs generate their revenue to stay afloat. A lack thereof would lead to these businesses entering a precarious state economically.
