Tribune News Service
Muktsar, August 5
A cheque for $600 was today handed over to Jinder Kaur, a woman rickshaw puller of Muktsar. The cheque was sent to the Editor-in-Chief of The Tribune by a resident of Seattle, US.
Jinder was given the cheque in the presence of Additional Deputy Commissioner (Development) Ramvir Singh and Deputy Manager of State Bank of Patiala Gurdeep Singh at the zila parishad office here. The Tribune had carried a report on Jinder’s plight on June 19. She has been plying rickshaw for a living after her husband allegedly abandoned her as she could not bear any child.
Earlier, the State Bank of Patiala had given her a new rickshaw. The Punjab State Human Rights Commission too had taken notice of the matter and had sought a report from the Muktsar Deputy Commissioner.
