This lockdown has been difficult for all of us. Many people have lost their closed ones, their jobs. A lot of people were left stranded due to the lockdown as well. However, the Indian actor Sonu Sood is doing the best to rescue all of them. First, he gave his hotels for coronavirus patients, supplied masks for police and common people, sent migrant workers home. These are just a few of his works. He certainly had redefined philanthropy in recent times.
Now, he had inspired people of two villages to join hands to build their own roads.
A Twitter user, wrote, “Inspired by @SonuSood (not kidding!), 2 villages in #Vizianagaram dt of #AndhraPradesh decided to stand on their own feet. After begging the local govt since 1947 to build a road to access the village on a hill top, each family pooled in ₹2,000 to build a road themselves! (1/4).” He also added video showing road building as proof.
“Till today, the only mode of transport for around 250 families in Chintamala & Kodama villages of Salur mandal was the doli. Pregnant women had to depend only on this for emergencies. This pic is from 2 yrs ago where the lady was carried in a harness for 12 km to the hosp (2/4),” he had continued.
“Overall ₹20 lakh was collected (Two loans + ₹2,000 from each family). The villagers hired JCBs from neighbouring #Odisha to build the 4-km ghat road. The villagers were inspired by @SonuSood‘s deeds and felt that there’s no point waiting for others to fulfill their needs. (3/4).” He also added a testimonial by a local who has been coordinating with the villagers to build the road.
Retweeting the video, Sonu promised he would pay them a visit. “I will soon come and visit you guys. You will inspire the nation.
He also wrote: This mode of transport: Not any more Well done Heroes. We need more individuals like these to take responsibilities on their shoulders and inspire others. Let’s make this happen
