Will continue sending migrants home until the last one reunites with family: Sonu Sood

Mumbai Actor Sonu Sood says he is pained by the plight of migrant workers who are unable to go back home amid the nationwide lockdown and he will do everything he can to arrange for transport for them.
On Saturday, Sonu arranged more buses for the migrants after obtaining special permission from the government of Uttar Pradesh.
The actor had earlier organized multiple bus services for many such workers heading to Gulbarga, Karnataka from Maharastra.
“It has been an extremely emotional journey for me as my heart pains to see these migrants staying away from their homes walking on the streets.
“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,” Sood, 46, said in a statement.
As per arrangements, multiple buses left from Wadala and various parts of UP, including Lucknow, Hardoi, Pratapgarh, and Siddharthnagar, as well as to states like Jharkhand and Bihar.
The “Happy New Year” actor was present to bid goodbye to these workers who were stranded in the city since the lockdown began on March 25.
Previously, the actor also donated over 1,500 PPE kits to doctors across Punjab and provided his Mumbai hotel for the accommodation of the healthcare workers.
Sood has also been feeding thousands of underprivileged people along with providing meal kits to migrants in the Bhiwandi area during the holy month of Ramzan.
