Morni village gets mobile tower

Panchkula, October 4

Actor Sonu Sood, along with his friend Karan Gilhotra, helped students who were struggling to access online classes at Morni here.

With the help of Indus Towers and AirTel, the duo got a mobile tower installed in the village to enable uninterrupted connectivity.

The matter came to light after a video on the social media showed a child from Dapana village, Morni, sitting on a tree branch to catch mobile signals to help other children complete their homework. Sonu Sood and Karan were tagged in the post. Following this, the actor took an initiative with the help of his friend to come to the rescue of these children.

The actor had tweeted: “No more climbing of trees for your online classes. Your village will have its own mobile tower this week.”

“Children are the future of our nation and they deserve an equal chance to a better future. We believe such challenges should never stop anyone from reaching their full potential. It is our honour to help set up a mobile tower in the remote village to help these children access online classes. They no longer have to climb trees to catch mobile signals,” the duo said.

Students expressed gratitude to the actor and his friend for helping them.

Sonu Sood was recently honoured with the Special Humanitarian Action Award by the UNDP. — TNS
