R. Vaishnavi, Class VI student of St Joseph High School, Vanasthalipuram, wrote the letter to Chief Justice Alok Aradhe seeking directions to the officials to shift Sai Yuva Bar and Restaurant, located in the middle of their colony on the Hayathnagar-Sahebnagar main road, to a far-off place.
Vaishnavi said that the activity at the establishment disturbed the peace in the area in the middle of a thickly populated colony.
