In a desperate try to home, a fifteen-year-old girl Jyoti Kumari rode a bicycle with her father from Haryana's Gurugram to Darbhanga in Bihar, a distance of nearly 1,200 km.
Jyoti’s father Mohan Paswan worked as an e-rickshaw driver in Gurugram but was injured in an accident in January. With no work or money during the lockdown(封锁), Paswan and his daughter were struggling to make ends meet. Even their landlord kept asking them to pay the rent.
At first, Paswan didn’t agree to go back to Bihar on a bicycle, as he thought Jyoti was so young that she couldn't reach the end with such a wild idea. However, Jyoti managed to persuade him and the two went on an hard journey back home. "We kept moving forward with whatever help we got on the way. Some people gave us food. We were also hungry for two days," Jyoti said.
She has been quarantined along with her father and is being praised as "Shravan Kumari" of Darbhanga. Knowing about her story of courage and strong will, the local government sent an official to the house of Jyoti Kumari at Siruhulia and made sure to provide all helps.
Jyoti wanted to study further and the Darbhanga district administration has promised her to help in further study. "At this time, these families are now getting some benefits from the government, and after this, all government facilities will be provided according to the need," said Dr Tyagarajan. At the same time, she was expressed congratulations by a local social organization Dr Prabhaat Foundation.
