Singer Shaan raises funds of Rs 25 lakh to support daily wage earners amid lockdown

Singer Shaan on Tuesday said he has initiated a fundraiser to raise Rs 25 lakh towards supporting out of work daily wage earners and their families in the wake of the national lockdown. The country is witnessing a 21-day lockdown, as announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.

The daily wage workers across different avenues are



badly hit by the lockdown.

Shaan, along with the crowdfunding platform Impact Guru, backed by NGOs, Aakanksha Vision For A Better Society and HelpAge India, have come forward to support daily earners.

"It does not have to be a big amount ... but be rest assured that I will personally make sure your charity will be utilised well and appreciated," Shaan tweeted.
