ADLIYA, BABRAIN, March 27: An Indian restaurant in Bahrain’s Adliya has been closed by authorities after denying entry to a veil-clad woman, Gulf Daily News reported Sunday. Reports suggest that the duty manager is an Indian, who has been suspended post the incident.
Bahrain media outlets reported that the incident came to the fore after the video of a restaurant staff blocking a veiled woman went viral on social media platforms. Bahrain Tourism and Exhibition Authority (BTEA) has launched a probe and asked all tourism outlets to comply with regulations and avoid enforcing any policy that violates the laws of the Kingdom.
