Bengaluru: While the state government does not allow restaurants and bars to operate with 50 percent residential, the pub is still waiting for the green signal.
Brigade Road, MG Road, Church Street and other popular stretches see good feet after unlocking, but many people are disappointed because they haunt famous to serve drafts and beer brewed locally still closed.
Even the restaurant and bar cannot offer beer tap under the current guidelines, but are permitted to serve all types of alcohol bottles.
A large number of commercial activities in the city have continued after two months restriction Covid-19, and the owner hopes for fast recovery.
Pub business, very dependent on footsteps, is in trouble.
On the road 100 feet, Indiranagar, the garbage has accumulated in the place where some outlets were once the point of popular nightlife.
Installation of losses and debt has encouraged fears that certain outlets can be permanently turned off.
A famous pub near the Sony Signal Junction in Indiranagar cannot recover from previous locking, and the dilapidated building remains in its place.
A pub on Jalan MG is also in bad condition.
Deepak Sood, Former President of the Church Welfare Association, said that the government was unfair by closing the pub longer.
“There are eight pubs in Church Street and their stakeholders have invested a lot of money.
It hurts us that the authorities don’t even involve pub representatives before making a key to unlock.
The pub remains closed, while all other places are allowed to reopen,” he said.
Pub business employs a large number of migrant workers, who have struggled because of covid locking.
“After locking it took effect last year, the Koramangala pub where I worked was closed.
I took the Shramik train to my Shillong hometown.
I returned in January this year after everything began looking.
But a locking was announced in April,” said Yuvraj Gurung 23 years old, who works as a waiter.
“I hope things to quickly reopen because I have savings to stay in the city just a few days.” Chethan Hegde, the founder of 1522 Pub Chain, said that the industry became clarity only on July 3 and many companies had not started operations for various reasons.
“The industry has received a big blow.
We have to pay taxes and cover other costs, including salary.
Now, this industry takes pieces.
We hope we return in 10 days,” he said.
Hegde added that the outlet was open but he did not sell beer.
