Also, he consulted with the Punjab Police about this and his close friends will be distributing the ration on behalf of the couple.

Personally, I have discussed this thing to the DC of Punjab Police, Jalandhar. My team, as well as friends, will be maintaining the guidelines and accordingly give the food packets”.
On Sunday (05-04-2020), he took his twitter handle and let his fans and followers know regarding the noble cause and prayed God for the well being of everyone.
