Hoteliers oppose prolongation of night curfew in Mysuru

It has largely hit restaurants, hotels that are supposed to close after 9 p.m.

Hoteliers in Mysuru have questioned the need for continuing the night curfew in Mysuru when all trades, activities and events have been permitted, following sharp drop in COVID-19 cases.

Mysuru Hotel Owners’ Association President C. Narayana Gowda sought to know the reason for continuing the night curfew from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. which has largely hit restaurants and hotels that are supposed to shut down operations after 9 p.m. even as events, including weddings and other functions, are going on till late in the night.

“We had requested for removing the night curfew when the weekend lockdown curbs were withdrawn. Buses, trains and flight services were running normally, and all types of trades and businesses were being operated routinely. Wedding receptions and dinners are going on till midnight,” he said.
