Mumbai, May 12: Bollywood Actor Sonu Sood is leaving no stone unturn to assist in this outbreak.

No sooner than receiving permission from the Karnataka and Maharashtra governments, the buses left from Thane for Gulbarga, Karnataka.

 

 

The actor also visited the bus terminals to bid the workers goodbye. The Dabangg star said, “I strongly believe that in the current times when we are all facing this global health calamity, every Indian deserves to be with their families and dear ones. I’ve taken official permissions from the Maharashtra and Karnataka Governments to help these migrants reach home in about ten buses.”

 

 

“The Maharashtra government officials were very helpful in terms of organizing the paperwork and a special mention to the Karnataka government for welcoming the migrants back home. It was moving for me to watch these migrants walking on roads including the little kids and old parents" Sonu further added. The actor also stated that he is also trying to get migrant workers from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, and Jharkhand to get to their native by making more such arrangements.

 

Sonu Sood had earlier requested the government to provide free transport services to the migrant workers who have been stranded due to the lockdown across the country. He had also urged to open free trains and bus services from every state.

 

Apart from this, Sood also donated over 1500 PE Kits to the doctors who are working relentlessly day and night to fight against this deadly virus. He has also offered his hotel in Juhu as a residential facility for frontline workers. It was also reported that he has decided to provide meal kits to over 25,000 migrants daily in Mumbai during the holy month of Ramzan.
