A strict watch will be kept on casinos in Goa to ensure they are not used for laundering money during the Lok Sabha polls, a senior election official said Sunday.
Elections for the state's two Lok Sabha seats, with 11.31 lakh voters, and bypolls for three Assembly seats will be held on April 23.
The Election Commission's Nodal Officer for Expenditure Monitoring, Rajesh Kumar, said, "All state agencies dealing with casinos will be asked to be alert as part of the monitoring process for money laundering. Casinos will have to comply with rules and regulations."
