24/7 restaurants policy will create safe spaces for public: Haryana minister

  24/7 restaurants policy will create safe spaces for public: Haryana minister


A day after the state government announced that all restaurants in the state can remain open round the clock without having to pay an additional fee, deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala said on Wednesday that the move will boost the state economy and increase women safety on streets, besides providing more employment and opportunities to start-ups and existing establishments.


Chautala said restaurant unions across the state had met him last month and demanded that the state government should allow them to keep their restaurants open round the clock so that people could get food at their convenience.


“I had personally visited many districts and checked the night life before taking the decision. What attracted me were the dhabas on the main expressway and also along internal roads in the city that cater to people 24x7 and are doing well,” he said.


Chautala said there is a provision for pub and bars in the state to remain open round the clock on payment of a ₹20 lakh liquor licence fee, but there were no such provisions for restaurants until now and no additional cost is involved.
