Actor
Sonu
Sood
has
once
again
come
to
the
rescue
of
people
stranded
in
different
parts
of
the
country,
looking
to
go
back
to
their
hometowns
amid
the
lockdown.
Sonu
has
helped
177
girls
get
to
their
homes
in
Odisha.
The
actor
airlifted
the
girls,
who
were
stuck
in
Kerala
due
to
the
lockdown.
According
to
reports,
Sonu
heard
about
the
girls
from
a
friend
in
Bhubaneshwar,
and
he
decided
to
help
them
out,
after
taking
many
permissions
from
the
Kerala
and
Odisha
governments
to
have
airports
opened.
PTI
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"The
actor
started
the
process
by
taking
several
permissions
from
the
government
to
have
Kochi
and
Bhubaneswar
airports
opened.
A
special
aircraft
has
been
called
from
Bangalore
to
airlift
these
177
girls
from
Kochi
who
will
be
now
taken
to
Bhubaneshwar
so
they
can
finally
reunite
with
their
families."
The
source
added,
"The
flight
duration
from
the
village
to
Bhubaneswar
is
going
to
be
two
hours
and
soon
after
finishing
their
journey,
the
girls
will
be
heading
back
home."
Thanking
Sonu
for
his
gesture,

Sabha
MP
