The former president of Cricket Association of Pondicherry (CAP) and state cricket nominee for BCCI meetings, P Damodaran extended help to coronavirus patients by offering its dorm rooms in its cricket campus to be used for their treatment, as per the reports from The Indian Express.
In a letter written to Kiran Bedi, Lt.

We had built a dormitory for two cricket teams to stay comfortably i.e. 30 cricketers and dining, kitchen etc in our cricket campus in Tutipet, Pondicherry. We stopped cricketing activities due to the outbreak of coronavirus. We can offer these facilities to house up to 30 corona infected patients if need be with necessary medical tie-up through Laxmi Medical College, Pondicherry.”
