Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has opened a cancer shelter for the policemen and has named it after his father Hari Om.
The shelter,which will cater exclusively to police personnel,was inaugurated on Tuesday,March 12.
It has been a long-standing dream for me,” said Akshay.
The reason behind the actor opening the shelter is the plight of the police personnel he witnessed while his father was undergoing chemotherapy at the Tata Memorial hospital.
It was then that he had noticed how policemen – while undergoing treatment for the disease – would face trouble with their stay and food arrangements.
The patients can avail of the shelter’s services,including food and AC rooms with TV sets,by paying a mere Rs. 400 per day.
Currently equipped with 30 beds,the shelter is expected to expand if necessary permission and space is available.
