Indian and Bangladeshi restaurateurs face
shortages of chefs and waiters amid tight immigration curbs on hiring
from overseas
LONDON - Britain's curry houses are in the grip of a crisis.
Throughout the country, Indian restaurateurs say they are struggling
with finding staff, the BBC reported.
With the younger generation preferring
college to the curry pot, industry insiders say they are unable to fill
vacancies for chefs and waiters from overseas because immigration
officials have tightened up on issuing work visas.
Thousands of work visa applications are being blocked by one arm of
government despite having been given the go ahead by another.Industry representatives in Britain are lobbying MPs and appealing
to the Home Office for crisis curry talks.
Mr Ahmed Koysor's experience is typical of many across the country.
