The Chamber Joint Secretary Swapnil Ahirkar said that last year too, hotel industry was unlocked from November 2020 but was under the shadow of lockdown from March to July, 2021. The lockdown hit the hotel industry hard. Therefore, the local administration, on the lines of Pune Municipal Corporation, should grant hotels and restaurants permission to stay open till 11 pm every day, Ahirkar demanded.
