Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has said that, in Uttar Pradesh over 850 farmers have been identified and their loans amounting to over Rs 5.5 crore will be taken care of. Mr Bachchan had earlier helped more than 350 Maharashtra farmers by clearing their debt.
Sr Bachchan said, “It has been a most satisfying experience to give some to them the countrymen that sacrificed their lives for us… 44 families diversified into 112 entities were given out in my small way from Maharashtra, the brave hearts, the SHAHEED. More needs to be done from other parts of the country too. It shall be done.”
Bachchan in his post wrote, “Over 350 farmers loans that were difficult to pay off and to prevent them from committing suicide, was paid off some days back too. Earlier farmer loans from Andhra and Vidarbha had been done… Now a list of over 850 farmers from Uttar Pradesh have been identified and their loans amounting to over Rs 5.5 crore shall be taken care of. The assistance from the bank in question assists in its execution and its benevolence,”.
Beside these farmers, Mr Bachchan has also shared that he will be helping Ajeet Singh, who had appeared on KBC Karmveer and works for the upliftment and protection of girls who are forced into prostitution.
“Tomorrow a contribution to Ajeet Singh, who was on KBC Karmveer, and who works towards forced prostitution and the protection of young girls being kidnapped and forced into this dastardly crime, is being sent to him to help in his most valiant endeavour,” he said.
