Got Stuck in Flood and Needed Shelter-Onyx Lounge came to the Rescue! All they had to Call 8050301111
Mangaluru: Onyx Lounge in the City not only serves those who are craving for good food to satisfy their hunger, and quench their thirst, but today, 29 May the management and staff of Onyx went a little beyond their limits by providing shelter to those commuters who were stranded on M G Road and around that vicinity.
While the City Fire department crew were doing all their efforts to rescue those stranded in the flooded water, something unique stuck to the mind of Akshith Chowta of Onyx Lounge, who also wanted to be a Good Samaritan to all those people stranded in the bus shelter and other areas, due to the flooded water.
Speaking to Team Mangalorean, Akshith said, “We provided shelter to nearly 75 people who were stranded on M G Road and around our lounge vicinity. We had circulated a poster on social media where commuters if they needed shelter or use washroom they could use the Onyx rooftop facility. All they had to do was to call the number that we provided, which was 8050301111. I am happy that Onyx was helpful to a bunch of people when they really needed shelter during this unexpected floods. Our parking space was also helpful to people who had come from out of town, and they too came up and availed the shelter facility.”
When asked if Onyx would provide the same kind of service in times of future floods, for which Akshith said that it all depends on the situation, and if they decided to do it again, the details would be circulated soon via social media so that people could avail the facility quick. Team Mangalorean appreciates the kind gesture of all the good people at Onyx, who thought of their fellow citizens in times of distress, stranded in flood water. This is also an example for other establishments in the City to learn in lending their helping hand to those in dire need of help or services.
