While the floods in Kerala were being covered outrageously and celebs were constantly showing their support towards it, the same hasn't been done for Nagaland. The flooding has affected 50,000 people in the state so far, which has compelled the CM to plead for help on social media. When Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput got to know about the situation there, he decided to extend a helping hand to the flood- hit state. The actor met up with Niephiu Rio, the Chief Minister of Nagaland, to discuss the current situation and the steps that can be taken to mitigate the damage caused by the recent flooding in the state. Sushant Singh Rajput's Generous Donation To Kerala Flood Relief on Behalf of a Friend Has Won Our Hearts.

Sushant immediately cancelled his appointments once his Innsaei team informed him about the situation yesterday, and quickly fixed a meeting with the CM to discuss further on the condition. He recently donated Rs 1 crore on behalf of an Instagram fan to aid the relief efforts in Kerala, and also sent a team to take care of on-ground relief. Today he donated Rs 1.25 crores to Nagaland’s relief fund as an immediate call to action and help the flood-affected people. Now thats indeed a noble gesture.

Nagaland CM, Niephiu Rio, thanked Sushant for joining the cause and becoming the voice of the state and its people and as a token of appreciation, he presented Sushant with a friendship Gong.

In the meeting with the Nagaland CM, Sushant expressed his concern and said, “The events in Nagaland deeply sadden me, and I am disturbed by the fact that this disaster is not receiving the attention it deserves. Every person, every state, and every problem should be treated equally, and I believe that it is the responsibility of the nation as a whole to stand with the people of Nagaland during this tough time. I urge people to come forward and help people of Nagaland in mobilising and bring their lives back on track.”

On the work front, Sushant is next going to be seen in Abhishek Kapoor's Kedarnath. Coming back to what he did for the people of Nagaland, lets hope this encourages more people to do the same and help the people in every possible way.
