Nizam’s, which shut on Tuesday, plans to carry out an independent testing with the help of a third-party agency
Kolkata: The suspension of licences of around 40 restaurants by the KMC has caused much anxiety in the city’s food and hospitality industry weeks ahead of the festive season, when restaurants typically see a surge in footfall and business.
Sudip Mullick, director of the 141-year-old Balaram Mullick and Radharaman Mullick, said he was surprised to see the brand’s name on the civic body’s list for establishments with suspended licences but later discovered that the name was of a facility on B L Saha Road that had no links with their company that had 18 outlets in the city.
We have challenged their finding,” said Nizam’s chairperson Samar Nag. There has never been any quality problem,” said Mullick. A sudden closure can affect staff, suppliers, advance bookings and perishable stock, besides causing reputational damage at a time when establishments are preparing for the festive rush, a period restaurants depend on for a substantial share of their annual revenue. “We will conduct separate testing through a third-party agency and submit the report to the corporation. Meanwhile, we are treating the news conference as an official communication and keeping the restaurant closed. “The KMC team visited our Salt Lake City Centre unit six days ago and gave a clean chit.
