A joint meeting of the management and workers of all the casinos in the Valley announced protest plans on Saturday, Kalpadip Rai, president of the Casino Anna unit of All Nepal Hotel and Restaurant Workers' Union, told this daily today.
As per the plan, the casino management and workers would submit a memorandum to Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal tomorrow, organise an hour-long chakka jam at 11 AM on Monday and a two-hour chakka jam throughout the Valley on Tuesday. They have also announced Valley bandh on November 1.
"By attacking casinos in the Valley, the Home Minister is trying to create a space for UML cadres in the casinos, as all of them are under the hold of Maoist cadres," Rai claimed, adding that the frequent raids on casinos would adversely affect the casino business and might also force workers out of their jobs. Rai also demanded timely changes in rules and policies governing the casino business. He also said that the management of the casinos were ready to end all malpractices in the casinos if there were any.
"The police officers that came to conduct raid in Casino Anna yesterday failed to produce their ID cards," Rai said, adding that the government was harassing casino-goers and management without any just cause.
Casino Anna's general manager Ram Krishna Chakradhar demanded the government to make necessary changes in the 40-year-old rules and policies that bars Nepalis from casinos. "Time is no longer the same. The government can't stop Nepalis who want to go to casinos," Chakradhar said, adding that a good number of Nepalis are going in casinos abroad every year.
Addressing a mass meet of casino workers in Maitighar Mandala, TR Bhatta, general manager of Casino Everest and Casino Royal, said the government was creating an environment to shut down the casinos by frequently terrorising tourists on one pretext or the other. "War has begun and we are sure to win it," he added.
