    All 5* hotels are empty, no customers! BTW, Tatas have given the entire TajPalace hotel in Colaba & Taj Land's End in Bandra for med staff fighting Corona! Entire Nanavati & Seven Hills hospitals have been converted to Corona care!

    No such hotel or hospital has come forward to do such a sacrifice in Mangalore!

    5 star hotels? What is wrong with you? They need to be quarantined in some isolation ward in a hospital. 5 star hotels there will be a lot of people where they can get infected and plus what is the purpose of 5 star hotels I don't understand
