"We would like to inform you that our casinos in Goa will resume operations with immediate effect, in accordance with applicable safety norms prescribed by the and Central Government. You are requested to take the same on record," the firm said in communication to BSE on November 2.
On October 28, the Goa government allowed casinos in the state to restart operations from November 1, which were shut since March-end when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out in the country.
Announcing the decision, Goa chief minister Pramod Sawant said that the decision was taken with a view to "promote tourism activity in the state." The casinos in the state had been urging the government to allow the restart of operations, which they said would help boost the tourism arrivals in the state and provide an added attraction to tourists visiting the state.
