Mike Holland, Chief Executive Officer Embassy REIT said, “The coronavirus outbreak is first and foremost a human tragedy, affecting hundreds of thousands of people across the globe. The Government’s efforts in curtailing the spread of the disease are truly commendable – it is also the duty of every corporation to help in providing supplemental support and relief where possible. At Embassy Office Parks, we have focused our efforts to support community workers and have invested over INR 1 crore to combat the COVID -19 crisis, with significant interventions.”
Supporting Police and Law enforcement agencies
While maintaining order and ensuring that citizens are obeying lock-down, the traffic police are at a greater risk of contracting the virus. To aid them in conducting their duties in a safe and healthy manner, Embassy REIT has set up eight hydration stations in multiple cities where Embassy properties are located (Bangalore, Pune, Noida and Mumbai). The stations are equipped with drinking water, tea/coffee, refreshments, access to first aid and toilets. These hydration stations are open 24 hours a day so that police personnel working across shifts can take rest and refreshment between shifts.
In addition, Embassy REIT has procured hand over 50,000 sanitizers, more than 1,00,000 disposable protective masks and nutritional snacks for the task forces in these cities. Everyday over 15,000 police employees are supported by this initiative and this program has touched the lives of over 2,00,000 police personnel till date.

Ravikanthe Gowda, Joint Commissioner of Traffic, Bengaluru City Traffic Police, added, “We were very grateful and pleasantly surprised when we were approached by Embassy to offer their support to our entire force.

Such acts of kindness and generosity have really been encouraging and motivating to the entire force.”
