From arranging bus and train travel to medical relief, the Odia actor had helped people reaching out to him through social media during the first COVID-19 wave.
In 2021 as the virus returned with renewed vigour, he floated an online initiative to help Odias who need oxygen cylinders, medicines or immediate medical assistance.
He has also been arranging ICU beds for COVID patients in Odisha and other states, including Delhi, Mumbai and Gujarat, and supplying medicines to them.
“The request is more for hospital beds this year,” the actor had earlier told the media.
Sabyasachi has created an online form https://bit.ly/patient_details_urgent and urged those needing help to fill it up with their emergency requirement.
Through his trust, Smile Please, he is also providing free meals to COVID patients in home islolation in Bhubaneswar.
