Kerala sarkar ab sakht ho gayi hai. Ek fatal accident mein underage drinking ka case saamne aane ke baad, **3** hotels par legal action shuru ho gaya hai.
Kya hua Kerala mein?
Ek fatal road accident ke baad, Kerala sarkar ne hospitality sector ki band bajani shuru kar di hai. State Excise Minister M. Liju ne bataya ki 3 specific bars—Daya (Kadavanthra), Monsoon Empress (Palarivattom), aur Courtyard by Marriott (Nedumbassery)—par cases register hue hain. In par ilzaam hai ki inhone 19 saal ke ladke ko alcohol serve ki, jabki state mein legal age 23 saal hai.
Investors ke liye warning
Ab situation ye hai ki hospitality businesses ke liye risk kaafi badh gaya hai.
- Higher Compliance Cost: Ab har bar ko entry par age verification aur tight karni padegi.
- License Risk: Sarkar seedha license cancel karne ki dhamki de rahi hai, jiska asar seedha revenue par padega.
- Tight Scrutiny: Sirf chhote players nahi, bade brands bhi ab government ke radar par hain.
Bottom Line
Jo log hospitality stocks par nazar rakhte hain, unhe ab state-specific regulations ko dhyaan mein rakhna hoga. Ye incident dikhata hai ki agar compliance mein koi bhi gadbad hui, toh business operations par seedha asar padega. Ab scrutiny aur badhegi, isliye alert rehna zaroori hai.
