The Delhi government has decided to officially withdraw its Bed and Breakfast policy and review all establishments operating under the scheme following the deadly fire at a hotel in south Delhi's Malviya Nagar area, Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra has said. "We are going to officially withdraw the Bed and Breakfast scheme, and all establishments licensed under it will be checked," Mishra told PTI.
Action would be taken against operators found violating the terms of the licence. If any establishment registered under the scheme is found running more than six rooms, its licence will be cancelled," the minister said. The move comes after a massive fire ripped through the Flourish Stay B&B on Wednesday morning, leaving 21 people dead, including 11 foreign nationals, and several injured.
