Actor Sonu Sood took to his social media and shared his thoughts on making cremation grounds free of cost. The actor requested the government and concerned organisations to come together and help people who cannot afford to cremate their loved ones. "Let’s come together and make this happen," wrote Sonu as the caption of the post. Adding, Sonu suggested the authorities come up with a way where they can cut down the price for cremation or 'introduce a law to make it free for people'. 

"I have a humble request to make to the concerned authorities and government to introduce a law that cremation grounds should not be charged. We are losing around 3 to 4 thousand people every day. It takes around 15-12 thousand to cremate one person. So, it is 6-7 crore expenditure in total," he said in the clip. Earlier, Sonu suggested that the education of these children must be made free of cost. Sonu said that there have been several cases as young as 10 to 12-year-olds who have lost their parents and their future now is a concern for our society.
