KOLKATA: How times change! A week ago the West Bengal government was trying almost every trick in the book to coax, cajole and scare the employees of the Great Eastern Hotel (GEH) into accepting the early retirement scheme (ERS), so as to pave the way for smoothly roping in a private sector partner to run its loss-making hotel. Till the time of writing on Thursday, the deadline for ERS, over 95 per cent of the 426 employees of Asia's oldest running hotel have already applied for the ERS. "Altogether 413 employees had already signed up for ERS," a tourism department official said. Thus, the decks have been cleared for handing over the state-run hotel to a private sector partner. In the race are groups like ITC Hotels, Park Hotels, Unitech, Delhi and a NRI group Ramuk AB of Sweden. The first round of meeting with the eight companies in the race is to begin from July 3.
