While many have contributed huge amounts to relief funds, some have been even distributing essentials to the needy and even taking care of the strays in these difficult times.
Superstar Akshay Kumar has also joined the league and recently contributed a whopping amount of Rs 25 crore to the PM CARES Fund. Now as per latest reports, the actor has donated Rs 3 crore to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for the manufacture of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), masks, and rapid testing kits, in the fight against COVID-19 pandemic.
The report by a daily says that when Akshay realised that the city had been struggling to mass produce these essential items needed while treating the patients due to limited resources, he immediately extended financial support to the BMC.
