The death of a Virar-based hotelier, who committed suicide a couple of days back due to the financial burden brought about by loss of livelihood, has once again brought to the fore the issues being faced by the food and hospitality industry in the state. 

The Hotel and Restaurant Association of Western India (HRAWI) has expressed anguish over the unfair and unjustified imposition of restrictions on hotels and restaurants and have demanded the right to earn their livelihood.
