Delhi is overhauling the way bed-and-breakfast establishments operate in the city, with the State Assembly Tuesday approving a proposal to repeal a nearly two-decade-old law governing them in the Assembly.
It plans to replace it with a new policy framework.
The move comes after a fire at a B&B in Malviya Nagar claimed 21 lives in June and triggered a city-wide crackdown on properties violating safety norms and building bylaws.
More than 750 B&B establishments are currently registered with the Delhi Tourism Department under the existing law.
The government stated that the proposed changes are aimed at keeping pace with the changing tourism and hospitality sector and making the rules more flexible.
