The Karnataka Hotel Owners Association has announced a potential 60% hike in food prices across the state due to the government's revision of minimum wages for workers. With the minimum wage set at ₹23,000, the total cost per worker (including PF, ESI, and food) will reach nearly ₹35,000. This could lead to masala dosa prices hitting ₹150 and idli prices rising significantly. The association cited existing pressures from high commercial gas and fuel prices, requesting the government to reconsider the wage hike to prevent small hotels from shutting down. https://kannada.asianetnews.com/gallery/karnataka-districts/karnataka-hotels-warn-of-price-increase-following-steep-minimum-wage-revision-60-percent-hike-gdp-l0767y9 #creator program
