Amid India-China faceoff, Delhi Hotels and Restaurant Owners Association have decided that from now onwards Chinese Nationals will not be provided accommodation in Delhi hotels. Around 3000 Hotels in Delhi having capacity of 75,000 rooms have taken the decision to protest against China.

"We had a meeting day before yesterday where we decided that from now onwards we will not give accommodation to any Chinese national in Hotels and Guesthouses of Delhi. By taking this decision we want to protest against China. The manner in which the Chinese army is behaving with Indian forces at the borders which has resulted into killing of 20 Indian soldiers, the Hotel Industry is deeply upset and having a gross resentment against China and therefore it has thought better to join the campaign of the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT)," said Union Power Minister RK Singh.

There are around 3000 hotels and 75000 rooms which comes under this category. The Association has also decided not to use any Chinese made products in their Hotels & Guest Houses like furniture, Kitchen Accessories, Cutleries, Decorative items etc.
