The owners of the aforementioned restaurants urged KTR to take decision on the opening of the restaurants in Telangana, as the industry is suffering huge losses due to the lockdown and pandemic crisis.
Mr. Shaaz said, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) announced relaxation for other sectors, but no support has been given to hotels and restaurants.
In regard to this, KTR assured resumption of restaurant services soon after the lockdown 4.0., with a set of guidelines. He also asked concerned government officials to set up an internal manual of guidelines with respect to the Government norms.
Meanwhile, if started, the restaurant owners need to maintain sanitation, hygiene and social distancing at the restaurants.
