Kolkata: Coffee House eyes life after curbs

KOLKATA: The iconic Coffee House at College Street — along with its branch at Jadavpur — is planning to reopen on Wednesday after the fresh restrictions that were imposed to combat the second wave of the pandemic. Members of the Indian Coffee Workers Co Operative Society that runs the Coffee House said the service will start at 5pm and continue till 8pm.
“We will follow all the norms set by the state government.We will operate in phases. After reopening, only those of our 65 employees, who have got both the shots of the vaccine and stay in the city, will work. They will stay at the facility and work till the restrictions are eased out,” said Tapas Pahari, secretary of the association.
The cooperative has decided to request KMC to get rest of their employees vaccinated. The Amherst Street police said that they will have no issues if Coffee House reopens following the government norms.
