Sonu
Sood
has
relentlessly
been
working
to
help
out
those
being
affected
by
the
Coronavirus
crisis.
His
latest
contribution
came
in
the
form
of
arranging
transport
for
migrant
workers
from
Mumbai.
Sonu
organized
ten
buses
which
took
350
migrant
workers
home
to
Karnataka.
He
sought
permission
from
the
Maharashtra
and
Karnataka
governments
to
do
so,
and
also
had
packed
meals
sent
for
their
journeys.
Talking
about
what
made
him
decide
to
organize
transport
for
migrants,
he
said
in
an
interview
to
Hindustan
Times,
"People
talk
about
how
they
don't
know
what
and
how
to
help.
But
it's
really
possible
in
so
many
ways.
Every
time
I
went
out
to
get
ration,
I
would
see
hundreds
of
people...
children,
old
people,
young
men
and
women,
carrying
heavy
loads,
walking
down
the
street
to
get
back
homes.
I
would
stop
them
and
request,
'Aap
log
ruk
jao,
main
kuch
intezam
karunga'.
While
some
listened,
some
didn't.
Since
that
time,
I've
been
trying
to
figure
out
ways
to
send
these
people
home."
He
added,
"I
can't
see
people
sleep
empty
stomach
while
we
are
baking
cakes
and
desserts
at
home...
There
is
a
place
called
Kalwa
Chowk
in
Mumbai
that
many
migrant
workers
have
been
passing
by
daily.
Early
morning,
my
trucks
filled
with
fruits
and
refreshments
reach
the
place
for
these
people."
Sonu
had
to
ensure
that
the
people
he
helped
get
back
home
were
not
from
the
red
zones
and
had
medical
check-ups
done.
He
next
wants
to
arrange
transport
to
states
like
Uttar
Pradesh,
Jharkhand,
Bihar
and
Odisha.
He
vowed
to
not
rest
until
he
can
help
reach
as
many
people
home
as
possible.
"I
had
come
to
Mumbai
with
just
Rs
5,500
and
have
earned
enough.
My
mother
would
say
'life
is
all
about
giving'.
If
I
can't
give
back
to
the
society,
then
this
isn't
a
good
life
I
am
leading.
Thinking
about
what
these
people
are
going
through
while
I'm
in
the
comforts
of
my
home,
gives
me
sleepless
nights," he
said.
