Hotel owners' body in Darj decide against lodging to B'deshi guests
The Statesman
|December 10, 2024
Doors of the hotels in the entire Darjeeling district of West Bengal, which include both plains and hills, will be closed for Bangladeshi visitors for an indefinite period, according to a decision taken by a hoteliers' body.
A statement issued by the Greater Siliguri Hotelier Welfare Association says the decision has been reached through a unanimous vote by the members of the association, which reflects the collective stance of the body.
"Effective immediately, member hotels of the association will not permit the check-in of Bangladeshi citizens until further notice. The decision aims to ensure the safety and well-being of all guests and staff in the current sensitive climate," the statement read.
