“This would also add a new dimension to development of tourism, and would also expand the ambit of the tourism industry. This would also provide a number of job opportunities to local residents other than increasing the tourist footfall,” the official added.

Roadside cafes are a great way to really understand and experience any new place. They capture the true spirit of any city with their food and provide opportunities for meeting new people. In France, Parisian cafés serve as the nucleus of the city’s social life and culinary life. The move by the UP government is an attempt to replicate their model while adapting it to the Indian tastes and preferences. It is certain to become popular both with the local residents and the tourists, giving them a place to unwind and relax after seeing the beautiful monuments of the city.
