Hospitality sector alarmed by orders from state authorities, not getting paid for services rendered
/Key Take Away
The hospitality industry has raised concerns about 'high-handed' state government orders to requisition hotels as quarantine or treatment centers, and hoteliers not being compensated for the services offered through the lockdown.
On May 29, the Delhi government requisitioned five hotels through an order to convert them into extended Covid-19 hospitals, a move that took hoteliers by surprise.
The court directed the government to appoint an expert committee to examine the issue and to deal with the petitioner's representation. The matter stands adjourned to June 9.
The head of a hotel chain said his entire hotel has been taken over by state authorities in Madhya Pradesh and he had not been paid.
