Mumbai: The 10 night deadline announced by the state government to dine in hotels and restaurants has left aftertaste sour.
Given the strict soup in place (50% seating, limited to workers and vaccinated guests, exhaust runs with ACS in a closed room, often sanitization and cleaning), many in the hospitality sector question the reason behind the boundary behind the deadline Behind the time limit behind the 10pm limit.
Their argument is that the rules of social distance for their business are far more than for public transportation and other companies in the metropolitan area, but the deadline is tighter.
About labor industry truly valid.
It was in a very genting situation financially.
Putting Arbitrary Schedule on business functions, more for sectors where most activities and income are always in post-8:00 space, irrational.
Mandiri restaurants and bars must be permitted to function until 1 in the morning.
Longer hours, the more scattered will be a footstep, minimizing crowding opportunities and the spread of Covid-19.
Just as important, in sectors that produce so much work and struggle to pay and involve staff, which allow longer operating periods to encourage more changes, and thus, the need for more staff to provide profitable work.
Of course the virus does not multiply faster at night.
The government must also ensure that there are no license fees charged for the period of the first locking date until all restrictions are finally appointed.
Enforcing the schedule and rules that have little or no scientific rationality can sometimes have irreversible consequences for the sustainability of an industry and employed in it.
The government cannot be an arbitrary strength training even if the goal is to reduce covid numbers.
Taxpayers are the last master and decisions that affect it must be able to withstand supervision.
To treat the taxpayer as a quiet observer who must hold with the bureaucratic calls made in the closed room and then beg the sound to sound cannot be maintained.
Why the previous time limit was 1.30 in the morning considered not feasible, especially since most of the income was produced in the second half of the night, they asked.
Senior Vice President Hrawi Pradeep Shetty said more than 70% of businesses for restaurants came from dinner during curfew when the rest came from home delivery or orders during the day.
Because many corporate adopts WFH, the lunch hour business has shrunk, he said.
Most of the restaurant owners said the problem was more acute in Mumbai because the time was spent on traveling.
Customers to Bar Andheri, Anu Aparajith and Dumre Shitri, said office visitors in Mumbai often come home late and then plan to step out to eat with family or friends.
“The 10pm time limit will mean when we reach, the owner will prepare to pull the window leaves for that day,” they said.
A hoteler said the restaurant industry could not be compared to the mall and retail room.
“People shop at the mall after hours or during the day.
However, if the family must shop and eat together, the 10 nights are not realistic,” he added.
President Ahar Shivanand Shetty also questioned the logic of the limit of 10pm for daily operations because the hospitality industry had adopted and practiced the best Covid norms.
However, he was grateful to the government to make a dose of criteria for staff and guests to enter the hotel building.
“A large number of unemployed workers, and some owners end their lives.
There is no tax from good taxes to redeem losses because of the kuncian,” said other restaurant owners while arguing for more relaxation.
