New Delhi: In testing times of Coronavirus, actor Sonu Sood is one actor who hasn’t shied away from extending helping hand to the poor, needy, stranded migrants and unemployed. He has been reaching out to all those needy via social media.
During lockdown, the actor’s role in sending back migrant labour was applauded and appreciated all over. Now, the actor has been helping them find accommodation and employment.
The actor who earlier launched a job portal ‘Pravasi Rojgar’ to help migrant labourers, on Monday 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.
‘Dabangg’ actor who is being hailed as the ‘messiah’ for his philanthropy work, took to Twitter to share about his new initiative aimed at providing accommodation to the migrant workers.
“I am delighted to now offer accommodation for 20,000 migrated workers who have also been provided jobs in garment units in #Noida through @PravasiRojgar. With the support of #NAEC President Shri Lalit Thukral, we will work round the clock for this noble cause @lalit_thukral,” he tweeted.

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.
The 47-year-old actor has since then been helping different people reaching out to him through social media.
On birthday, Sonu announced 3 lakh jobs on his portal
The actor who turned 47 on July 20, announced 3 lakh jobs for migrant labourers on the job portal ‘Pravasi Rojgar’ that he launched sometime back.
“On my birthday a small initiative from my side…3 lakh jobs tied up for Pravasirojgar.com. All these will provide good wages, PF, ESI, and other benefits,” he tweeted.
He further went on to thank the organisations that had partnered with him for the initiative.
“Thank you AEPC, CITI, Trident, Quesscorp, Amazon, Sodex, Urban Co, Portea, and all others for creating these opportunities with me. #AbIndiaBanegaKamyaab @pravasirojgar,” he wrote.
Besides labourers, he has also helped students and other people stranded in different parts of the country amid the lockdown.
