Maniesh Paul Offers Aid to BMC Workers Post Cyclone Tauktae in Mumbai
Actor Maniesh Paul stepped up to help BMC workers dealing with the aftermath of Cyclone Tauktae. While celebrities often just tweet thoughts and prayers he actually did something.
The cyclone hit Mumbai hard uprooting trees flooding streets and overwhelming the municipal workers trying to restore normalcy. Paul organized aid distribution for the crews working around the clock.
India Today covered Pauls relief efforts and the grateful response from workers.
BMC workers are the backbone of Mumbai during disasters. They clear roads restore power and keep the city functioning when nature tries to shut it down. Recognition rarely matches their contribution.
Celebrity actions during crises can inspire others to help or at least bring attention to needs that might otherwise be ignored.
Paul has been consistent about this kind of work. He doesnt just show up for cameras and leave. His team distributed food water and supplies to workers across multiple locations.
The cyclone killed dozens and displaced thousands. The recovery effort will take months. Every bit of help matters especially for the workers who cant take time off.
Props to celebrities who use their platform to actually help rather than just signal virtue.
