BENGALURU: After the bomb blast at Rameshwaram Cafe in Bengaluru, the co-founder and CEO of the eatery, Raghavendra Rao, said that both the Union government and the state government should ensure that such incidents do not happen in the future and called for strict action.
On Friday, at least ten people sustained injuries and are currently undergoing treatment following an explosion at the restaurant.
“I request the government of Karnataka and India to make sure that this incident should not happen anywhere in India,” Raghavendra told reporters, extending his solidarity with the people and staff who were injured in the incident.
“I want to convey my strong regards to people who have got hurt. I wanted to say that we are with them, their family” Raghavendra said.
“One woman lost her eyes, and we are there with her. We are with our staff, four or five people, who are hurt very badly. We need all your blessings to show what the power of youth is and to say we are Indians and we are no less than anybody. We’re going to launch on Friday with a good bang. And we need all of your support,” he added.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah visited those injured in the Rameshwaram Cafe blast admitted to hospitals in Bengaluru on Saturday and assured them that the government would cover their medical expenses.
“The government will bear the treatment charges for all the patients. Around ten people are injured. Three are here at Brookfield Hospital and six others are admitted to Vydehi Hospital. I am also going there. The patients are recovering and responding very well to the treatment,” Siddaramaiah told reporters.
