Hyderabad: Lamakaan, a popular liberal cultural space, is likely to stay shut for a few days. Its management took to social media on Wednesday stating that Lamakaan will be closed “until further notice”. It has been learned that the development is a result of an internal issue.
As of now, there is no clarity on if the closure may extend beyond a few days. Lamakaan is a popular hang out spot for youngsters and is known for its affordable snacks. Last week, its also conducted its annual Hassan Memorial lecture after a gap of two years.
Lamakaan had also remained shut for months due to COVID-19 which began in February 2020. The Hassan Memorial lecture was also cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic.
According to sources, Lamakaan will likely be closed for a few days until further notice.
The space, especially its canteen, had begun operations fully only last November. Post the COVID-19 pandemic, it had partially restarted its canteen. After re-opening post the pandemic, for a while patrons could only sit in for thirty minutes. However, once the daily number of cases had decreased, the rule was eased.
