Gurgaon: The government Haryana on Sunday allows restaurants and bars to stay open until 11pm with a capacity of 50%, heeding a lot of requests from the restaurant owner to extend dinner time.
Until now, the restaurant was allowed to keep open from 10am to 10 nights with a tight Covid protocol.
Home delivery from restaurants and fast food connections can also continue until 11pm.
Likewise, the fitness center has been allowed to operate from 6am to 9:00 – an hour extension.
Apart from relaxation, the government on Sunday extends the class in the state per week to 26 July.
However, night hours will continue all day from 11pm to 5 in the morning.
The restaurant owner said the decision to extend the time of dinner about an hour was very encouraging.
The hospitality industry has been among the worst by locking.
Some restaurants were in business for years giving up on the installation loss and decorated their window leaves.
“The government’s decision was very helpful for the hospitality sector because most of the business came during dinner time.
Previously, we were allowed to operate up to 10 nights.
That means we have to stop taking customers after 9pm because we need time to prepare food.
Authorities have been very strict About Operational Timing.
However, customer footsteps have gradually improved.
This hourround extension will help us get more customers, “said Gagan Vashist, the owner of Dhaba 29.
The club house and restaurant on the golf course have also been given an extension of one hour.
But seating capacity will remain limited to 50%.
The gymnasium owner also supports the government’s decision to allow them to remain open until 9pm.

About 40% of our businesses come from professionals who work.
The previous time leads to the crowds in the gymnasium.
That also means people get a little time to practice and practice, “said Aeem Rao, owner of the hype, gym.
Some gym owners hope the government will offer financial assistance to them.
“Our business has been beaten badly.
In addition to the salary of the coach, we have to pay rent for space and electricity bills.
This monthly payment is constant, whether we do business or not.
All types of support from the government at this point will greatly help us,” said Rao , Meanwhile, relaxation that has been announced in the previous phase will continue.
