Amitabh Bachchan charters 3 flights for 500 migrants to send back home to Varanasi

Many Bollywood celebrities have come forward and helped by providing food and traditional aid. Actor Sonu Sood has been tirelessly working to arrange buses for the migrants to help them return to their homes. Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has also followed suit. After arranging busses for migrants, the actor has arranged 3 flights to send workers back to their home in Varanasi. 

According to a report in Mid-Day, "Everything is



being done with utmost discretion as Bachchanji doesn’t want it to be publicized. 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."
