Amid
all
the
chaos
owing
to
the
outbreak
of
Novel
Coronavirus
in
India
and
the
ongoing
nationwide
lockdown,
actor
Sonu
Sood
wins
hearts
with
his
kind
gesture
towards
the
migrant
labourers.
The
Happy
New
Year
actor
not
only
arranged
buses
for
hundreds
of
migrants
stuck
in
Mumbai,
but
also
personally
came
at
the
terminal
to
bid
the
workers
goodbye.
After
receiving
permission
from
the
Karnataka
and
Maharashtra
governments,
a
total
of
ten
buses
left
from
Thane,
Maharashtra
on
Monday
for
Gulbarga,
Karnataka.
In
an
official
statement,
Sonu
Sood
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
organising
the
paperwork
and
a
special
mention
to
the
Karnataka
government
for
welcoming
the
migrants
back
home.
It
was
really
moving
for
me
to
watch
these
migrants
walking
on
roads
including
the
little
kids
and
old
parents.
I
shall
continue
doing
the
same
for
other
states
as
well
to
the
best
of
my
abilities," added
Sood.
Not
so
long
ago,
Sonu
Sood
had
requested
the
government
to
provide
free
transport
services
to
the
migrant
workers,
who
have
been
stranded
in
different
parts
of
the
country
owing
to
the
nationwide
lockdown.
He
had
tweeted,
"I
feel
the
travel
of
all
migrants
to
their
respective
homes
should
be
totally
free.
In
fact
they
should
be
given
some
money
so
that
when
they
reach
their
homes
at
least
they
have
something
to
survive
for
a
day
or
two.
Free
trains
and
buses
should
run
from
every
state."
For
the
unversed,
he
had
also
donated
over
1,500
PPE
kits
to
doctors
across
Punjab
and
had
provided
his
Mumbai
hotel
for
the
accommodation
of
the
medical
officials.
