In his tweet, Salman Khan, who has done his part for COVID-19 relief, urged people who have the means to help out people who don't, either by themselves or through someone they trust. The citizens of India have been doing their bit to help fight Coronavorus pandemic.

While the Prime Minister and Chief Miniter set-up relief funds (in all states) have received donations, big and small to help aid in the fight against COVID-19 relief, actors like Amitabh Bachchan and even common men have taken to providing necessary food packages to the poor and needy who are stuck in the city without daily wages and no means for food. Amitabh Bachchan Lauds the Contribution Of Doctors, Nurses and Police Amid Coronavirus, Shares a Post Thanking the 'Social Warriors' (Read Tweet)

In a recent move, filmmaker Rohit Shetty provided the Mumbai Police with accommodations and food provisions at 8 city hotels for on-duty policemen, apart from donating Rs 51 lakh to the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE).  Actor Sonu Sood also provided his hotel for doctors, nurses and other medical staff who were on duty at hospitals taking in COVID-19 patients. The Producer's Guild of India also provided Mumbai Police, that has been manning the streets of Mumbai, with actors' vanity vans, for the force to use as restrooms and break rooms. It's endearing to see every citizen come together to do his or her part in helping India battle COVID-19.
