as saying: "Since the intention of this move is to curb drunken driving, restaurants never encouraged that. We don't even allow people to carry liquor outside from the restaurant."。
Kalra is the owner of Massive Restaurants which runs the popular Indian fusion cuisine chain, Farzi Cafe. "There is a lot of investment and hard work that goes into running a restaurant... Many employees in the sector elsewhere will lose their jobs, and not just in NCR, but also cities like Mumbai," he added. 。
