Devyani International Nepal had announced indefinite closure of KFC, Pizza Hut and Cream Bell outlets in Nepal last week, stating that workers had manhandled the managerial staff. Workers, however, have been refuting the claims, saying that the management closed the outlets unilaterally after the workers decided to form a trade union.



Devyani International Nepal operates Pizza Hut, KFC and Cream Bell outlets at Durbar Marg, and KFC and Pizza Hut Delivery (PHD) at Blue Bird Mall, Tripureshwar. It employs 180 persons.
