Mumbai: All bars in Mumbai should be converted into yoga centres in order to have a better society, Baba Ramdev said on Friday. He was laying the foundation stone of a yoga centre being built in the place of a nightclub that closed down four years ago.

Ramdev, in his short speech, said: "I am very happy that a place which was being used for destructing people's lives will now be used for making lives of various people happier and healthier."

"People who used to come here for lust and addiction will now be coming for meditation. And I say that all bars in Mumbai which cause no good to any person should be converted to these types of yoga centres."
