Actor Vivek Oberoi has done proud to not only Bollywood but also all Indians. He has donated 25 flats to the families of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) martyrs who had laid down their lives for country in the line of duty.
Everyone thinks of doing their bit for the Jawans, but Vivek has gone ahead and has set a rare example of what giving can mean. While the loss of the families is irreparable, they will at least have a shelter of their own for their secure future.
Vivek Oberoi’s donated flats are located in the residential project owned by him in Thane, Maharashtra, near Mumbai. These flats are housed in two buildings, Karrm Residency and Karrm Panchtatva, accorrding to the Economic Times report.
Elaborating on this, a senior CRPF officer said that four flats have already been allotted to the families of the martyrs. These include three jawans killed in a Naxal attack in Sukma, Chhattisgarh on March 11.
The remaining 21 flats also will be handed over to the central paramilitary force soon. The officer further added that preference will be given to families of martyrs from Maharashtra as the flats are located in the state.
The officer informed that the names of 21 more martyrs from Maharashtra will be forwarded to Oberoi's real estate company for allotment of the flats.
The CRPF thanked Vivek Oberoi for his noble gesture on its official Twitter handle.
