Ex-MLA Urges Mumbai CM To End Hotel Health Licence Renewals
A former politician in Mumbai wants the city to stop making hotels renew their health licenses every year.
He says it's a hassle and that some officials are using the process to cause problems.
He believes the city's health officers should focus on keeping the city clean and preventing diseases like malaria instead of bothering hotels.
He points out that other cities don't do this, and it's causing unnecessary trouble for hotel owners.
He wants the Chief Minister to stop the current system and make sure officials behave properly.
Former MLA Krishna Hegde met with the Chief Minister regarding Mumbai's health license renewal process.
Hegde claims the current process causes harassment and misuse of power by health officers.
He argues that this annual renewal practice is unique to Mumbai.
