Owners cite hike in price of gas and cost of transportation
People will have to shell out more to eat out as restaurants in Bengaluru have increased prices of food by 5 to 10% with effect from November 8. Owners have cited a steep increase in operational expenses for the increase.
B. Chandrashekar Hebbar, president, Karnataka State Hotel Association, which has over 6,000 members, said that, compared to the pre-COVID-19 period, the cost of running hotels and restaurants has increased and they have no option but to increase prices.
The prices of tea and coffee are likely to increase by ₹2 to 3, and that of idli and dosa by ₹5. The cost of a veg meal may go up to ₹75.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
