The corporate social responsibility (CSR) divisions of the casino operating companies have contributed in the state government government relief funds and also helping in managing logistics.
The industry players also claimed that they have been helping the government in reaching out to the people stranded in the tourist state due to the lockdown.
“We have supported 25 Georgian nationals by offering them accommodation and food after their Embassy requested for the same. They are safe in our accommodation. We will take care of them till they are in a position to fly back,” said Srinivas Nayak, Director, Casino Pride Group which owns two offshore vessels besides some onshore gaming places in the state.
The group donated ₹51 lakh to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund after the first phase of the national lockdown was announced on March 24.
Nayak said they are also providing regular meals to policemen on duty in North Goa which had reported seven coronavirus positive cases.
“We opened our kitchens for policemen on duty. That was the first thing that was required to do as our police force was on the street enforcing the lockdown,” he said.
Similarly, Deltin Group last week contributed ₹51 lakh towards the CM’s relief fund.
