Co-founder and CEO of the popular eatery in Bengaluru, The Rameshwaram Cafe—where a low-intensity blast occurred on Friday injuring 10 people— Raghavendra Rao, made a special request to the government of Karnataka and India, requesting them to ensure such incidents do not take place in the future.
Announcing that the Brookfield outlet of The Rameshwaram Cafe where the blast took place will be opened on Friday (March 8), he said, "I want to convey my strong regards to people who have got hurt. I wanted to say that we are with them, their family. One woman lost her eyes, and we are there with her. We are with our staff, four or five people, who are hurt very badly. We need all your blessings to show what is the power of youth and to say we are Indians and we are no less than anybody. We are going to launch on Friday with a good bang. And we need all of your support."
We firmly believe that no force can dampen the spirit of our nation, Rao said.
"I request the government of Karnataka and India to make sure that this incident should not happen anywhere in India," he added.
Meanwhile, the Bruhath Bangalore Hotels Association said it will chalk out a plan to enhance the security system at all hotels across the city and would also discuss the preventive measures to be taken to make public places safe. The association said it will hold a meeting with police officials, hotel owners and other stakeholders to discuss the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to maintain vigil in hotels.
