The mobile food cart owners today said that they would adhere to all the guidelines imposed by the state government, except one or two.
The mobile food cart owners who met additional collector, Mr G P Naik, today, conveyed to him that providing bottled or mineral water to the customers would not be economically feasible for them.
"Instead we can provide boiled water to the customers," said Madgaum Gadda Owners' Association president, Mr Prashant Naik speaking to The Navhind Times after the meeting.
He said that the mobile food cart owners have no problems in adhering to the government framed guidelines. The mobile cart owners have decided to restart their business only on Monday.
In the meantime, the hoteliers today met urban development minister, Mr Digamber Kamat, pressing for their demand. They contended that the mobile food carts should be asked to follow all the guidelines imposed on hotels.
Mr Kamat, who was proceeding towards Panaji, assured the hoteliers to hold meeting with them tomorrow at the collectorate. "We will be sorting out all the issues during the meeting," stated association president, Mr Jaggi, who along with general secretary, Mr Peter Fernandes and treasurer, Mr Nagesh Pai, led today's delegation to Mr Kamat.
Mr Jaggi said that they would pull down the shutters, if mobile carts are given relaxation in the guidelines. "It will be a token strike," he stated. ---------------------------------------------- The Navhind Times 13/9/03 page 3 ----------------------------------------------
