Woman rickshaw puller gets bank support

Muktsar, June 22
The State Bank of Patiala on Saturday handed over a new rickshaw to Jinder Kaur, the lone woman rickshaw puller of Muktsar. A report on her plight, “Muktsar’s Jinder plies a rickshaw for a living”, was carried in The Tribune on Thursday.

Rakesh Kaushal, AGM, State Bank of Patiala (Bathinda regional branch), said, “The Managing Director (MD) of the bank, Ramesh Rangan, after reading the news in The Tribune told me to personally go and hand over a new rickshaw to this woman, who is facing all odds at such a young age and plying a rickshaw for a living. It is shocking that Jinder’s husband left her because she could not bear children. We have also offered her a loan at very low rate.”
