Mumbai: Restaurant owners, bars and hotels throughout Maharashtra have decided to hold a silent protest parade on August 10 as a last attempt if the country does not return their operating timing to the beginning, at least 10 nights.
The resolution came at a meeting with all the hotel associations and peaked bodies in the state.
The hospitality industry has expressed a big disappointment over alleged discrimination by the authorities in not allowing hotels to operate more than 4pm even because all other outlets can now function until 10:00.
They have argued that in diverse arrangements such as roadside restaurants and aircraft cabins, people are allowed to remove the mask for a longer time while eating.
They said there was no evidence of restaurants that caused more distribution of Covid-19 than other businesses.
In fact, they also saw a greater conspiracy to promote the food delivery aggregator.
“The number of shops in the city of Mumbai will be at least 10 times more than the number of restaurants.
We fail to understand how to limit the timing of restaurants while not limiting other business activities can be justified for prevention or pandemic mitigation purposes.
In fact, the public interface in other outlets is far more Instead of in restaurants.
There is also no scientific data to show that the restaurant business endangers public health and is thus required to be limited continuously, “Senior Deputy Hrawi.
Pradeep President Shetty has stated in the letters sent to the Commissioner of the Municipality and the Chief Secretary of Ahar President Shivanand Shetty said that at first they would hold a press conference to overcome the media about the discrimination and industry state in addition to spreading consciousness through social media before turning to March protest.
