Vivek

have
joined

to
donate

to
the
last
mile

and
others.
"We
observed
that
migrant
labourers
have
been
stranded
here
since
a
while
now.
There
are
many
of
them
who
are
not
even
able
to
cope
up
with
acquiring
daily
essentials.
"They
are
struggling
to
pay
their
rent,
buy
daily
essentials,
to
feed
their
children.
We
have
supported
more
than
5,000
families," the
actor
said
in
a
statement.
Under
their
initiative
'Support
Aid
&
Assist
The
Helpless
SAATH',
the
funds
are
directly
transferred
to
the
accounts
of
the
workers
in
order
to
provide
them
cash
assistance
to
meet
their
daily
needs.
