Despite doorstep benefits promised, 70-year-old woman forced to crawl 2 km to collect pension in Odisha
Odisha's Keonjhar district, a 70-year-old woman named Pathuri Dehury was compelled to crawl nearly two kilometers from her home to the panchayat office to collect her old-age pension, as she is unable to walk due to her health. A video of Dehury crawling along the village road has since gone viral on social media.
Raisuan gram panchayat sarpanch Bagun Champia reported that he alerted the administration after seeing the woman’s struggle on television and in newspapers.
«I have also verified from the villagers that the woman is not able to walk properly due to her age-related aliment,» the Sarpanch said.
Though the state government had earlier issued a directive to officials to deliver the pension of elderly and disabled beneficiaries at their doorstep, Dehury said a panchayat official had asked her to visit the office to collect the monthly pension.
The woman is 70 years old and had no other alternative to reach there, according to villagers.
