New Delhi: Arvind Kejriwal led-Delhi government on Saturday granted relief to 400 hotel owners of the Paharganj and Karol Bagh area by revoking 'closure notices' issued to them by Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC).

On Friday, a delegation of the affected hotel owners met Delhi's environment minister Gopal Rai to press for relief on the matter.

The Aam Aadmi Party MLA Vishesh Ravi has also written to the environment minister, requesting relief to the hotel owners.

''I have to intervene in the matter immediately because these hotels are already struggling to make ends meet and more importantly, they employ residents from the area who would be distraught and left unemployed if this order came into effect,'' reads the MLA Vishesh Ravi letter.

However, 10 hotels had already been sealed by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Karol Bagh. After the revocation of the said order, these will be opened once again.ANI
