Hosakote biryani hotels in Bengaluru will now serve biryani only after 6 AM following police directions over early-morning crowds, traffic congestion and parking issues. Hotels have also been asked to arrange proper parking and security.
Hoskote's famous early-morning biryani rush could soon look very different, with the police directing biryani outlets to stop serving the dish before 6 AM. The move comes after large crowds and vehicles gathering outside popular biryani hotels during the early hours reportedly caused traffic congestion, parking problems and accidents. Hoskote Station Inspector B.T. Govind has asked hotel owners and highway vendors to follow the new restrictions and cooperate with the police to prevent further incidents.
The inspector issued the directions during a meeting with biryani hotel owners and highway vendors at the Hoskote City Police Station. He pointed out that customers were often parking their vehicles haphazardly along the roads while waiting for their orders, creating traffic bottlenecks and increasing the risk of accidents. Some people have reportedly suffered serious injuries in such incidents.
The police also raised concerns about fights and other incidents allegedly linked to alcohol consumption in the area during the late-night and early-morning hours.
