Karnataka has allowed Bengaluru hotels and restaurants to serve food until 3.30 am on the World Cup semi-final and final dates. The temporary extension follows a request from the restaurant body and comes with a call for responsible celebrations.

As the frenzy for the FIFA World Cup finals picks up and four matches remain before the finals, the National Restaurants Association of India (NRAI) Bengaluru Chapter has asked for an extension of the deadline, so that restaurants can operate until 2.30 a.m. only during football matches starting from Wednesday.
