Amitabh Bachchan helps 500 migrant workers to return home to Varanasi!

The entire nation is currently under deep terror as the number of coronavirus cases continues to increase gradually. Meanwhile, government officials have taken up the right measures to curb the spread of COVID-19. However, the unprecedented exodus of migrant workers has added on to the problems. While several celebrities have extended a helping hand, Amitabh Bachchan has come forward to arrange three flights so that about 500 workers could go home to Varanasi.

The actor had earlier sent back workers to various places in Uttar Pradesh via road.

A recent report in Mid Day quoted a source as saying, “Everything is being done with utmost discretion as Bachchanji doesn’t want it to be published. He was moved by the plight of the migrant workers and decided to help them. He has chartered the Indigo Airlines’ Varanasi-bound flight that is scheduled to depart on Wednesday morning. The 180 migrants scheduled to travel on the morning flight have been asked to report to the airport at 6 am. The initial plan was to send them home by train, but the logistics didn’t work out.”

The report also mentioned that the entire arrangement is being supervised by a close aide of the actor. Furthermore, Amitabh is also arranging for a few more flights to ensure migrants reach their hometowns in West Bengal, Bihar, Tamil Nadu and a few other states.
