Sonu Sood to bring back more Indians from the Philippines, offers accommodation to 20,000 migrant workers

NEW DELHI: Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, who became a real life hero for helping the migrant workers during the lockdown, is all set to bring more people from Manila in the Philippines. This is the third round of flights arranged by the 'Dabangg' star to bring Indians back home.


Earlier on August 3, Sood had arranged a return of 39 children between ages one to five from the Philippines for their liver transplant surgery in the national capital.


According to a press release, several underprivileged Filipino children suffering from a liver disease called biliary atresia haven't been able to travel to Delhi to have the surgery due to the pandemic.


Moreover, the 47-year-old star, who had earlier launched a job portal 'Pravasi Rojgar' to help migrant labourers, also said he will also be offering accommodation to the 20,000 workers who have been employed in a garment unit in Noida through the application.

The actor, who is being hailed as the 'messiah' for his philanthropy work, took to Twitter on Monday to share about his new initiative aimed at providing accommodation to the migrant workers.


Sood, who is currently helping scores of countrymen coming from the underprivileged section, began his journey in philanthropy by arranging safe road travel for migrant travels stuck in various parts of the country to reach their native places.

He later launched a job portal for migrant labourers by collaborating with several employment providers.

Sood has since then been helping different people reaching out to him through social media.
