A cheque was handed over to the Prime Minister's Office by Bridgestone India Director Ajay Sevekari, the company said in a statement today.
"Bridgestone hopes to play a part in rebuilding the lives of the people of Chennai," Company's India MD Kazuhiko Mimura said describing the natural calamity as an unforeseen and unfortunate incident.
The donation is aimed at providing aid to the affected people of Chennai for their speedy recovery, along with the re-building of infrastructure destroyed during the floods, the company said.
In 2014, Bridgestone had also donated Rs 1 crore to Prime Minister's Relief Fund towards rehabilitation of victims of floods in Jammu & Kashmir.
