Talking to ANI, Sonu told “These people are staying far away from the house, they go out to sell vegetables, fruits etc. I have met so many people in
Bihar, UP, Jharkhand. Here, in Himachal the oxygen levels are high, so, it is imperative to help these people. Not only by buying their things but by increasing their morals. They must be missing their families, so they will feel that we are supporting them.”
He also requested people not to bargain with such vendors. He said, “Don’t bargain much. What will you do by saving 10-20 rupees from them? We should support them and I request everyone not to bargain with these.”
Earlier, Sonu’s humanitarian efforts during the pandemic received a lot of love and admiration from the people.
