    Sonu Sood says he 'will continue sending migrants home'

    What's the story

    Sonu Sood has taken it upon himself to send migrant workers stuck in Maharashtra to their respective homes amid the ongoing nationwide lockdown.

    After arranging a batch of buses for migrants headed to Karnataka, the 46-year-old actor on Saturday arranged more buses for workers belonging to Uttar Pradesh, after obtaining due permission from the state government.

    Sonu said he wants to continue the practice.

    Information

    The buses left for various parts of UP

    Reportedly, these buses left from Wadala for various parts of Uttar Pradesh, including Lucknow, Hardoi, Pratapgarh and Siddharthnagar, as well as to states like Jharkhand and Bihar. Sonu was also present there to bid goodbye to the migrants.

    Details

    It has been an extremely emotional journey, Sonu said

    Sonu said he feels pained by plight of migrant workers.

    "It's been an extremely emotional journey for me as my heart pains to see these migrants staying away from their homes walking on streets," he shared.

    Notably, thousands of migrant workers across India faced the wrath of the coronavirus-induced lockdown. Rendered jobless, many of them walked on roads and rail tracks to reach home.

    Quote

    'Will continue until every migrant reunites with family'

    "I will continue sending migrants home until the last migrant reunites with his family and loved ones. This is something really close to my heart and I will give it my all," the actor added.

    Other efforts

    Sonu has been actively supporting India's COVID-19 fight

    Previously, Sonu reportedly donated 1,500 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits to doctors in Punjab.

    The actor has also been providing meals to thousands of underprivileged persons in Mumbai and migrant workers residing in the Bhiwandi area.

    Prior to that, he offered his hotel in Mumbai as a residential facility to doctors and other healthcare workers who are treating COVID-19 patients.

    Quote

    Not all are blessed to have food, Sonu had said

    "Some of us are blessed to have food and shelter in these tough times, but there are many who have not had meals in days... I hope I am able to help as many people as possible," Sonu had earlier said about his initiative.
