According to the association secretary Pawan Kumar Purohit, “The Indian Tricolour was insulted in Bangladesh. It is not acceptable to any of the hotel owners at Alipurduar,” The honor of the country comes first. Hence, for the time being, we have decided not to allow check-in to any Bangladeshi citizen and through this decision, we want to send a message,” said Purohit. It is learnt that on average, around 2,000 Bangladeshi visitors come to Alipurduar. Some come with tourist visas and a major chunk of them come for treatment with medical visas. The ongoing winter season witnesses the maximum inflow of Bangladeshi tourists.
“We are all aware of the loss that hotel owners might face because of this decision to refuse check-in to Bangladeshi visitors. But still, we are taking this decision for the sake of honor and pride of our nation.” said another member of the association. This is the fourth district-level hoteliers’ body to shut doors for Bangladeshi visitors. On December 9, the Greater Siliguri Hotelier Welfare Association made a similar announcement of refusing Bangladeshi citizens at hotels in the hills and plains of the Darjeeling district. The decision also received backing from the Eastern Himalayan Travel & Tour Operators Association. The biggest hotelier body in Malda district was the first to decide on this matter earlier this month. (Maxim News)
