Cycles for girls, no air for tyres

Cycles for girls, no air for tyres

Muktsar: Under the state government’s Mai Bhago Vidya Scheme, Health Minister Surjit Kumar Jyani on Thursday distributed bicycles among about 200 girl students here. However, the authorities concerned forgot to inflate the tyres. When the ceremony concluded, the girls were seen pushing their bicycles out of the school. Some of them even hired rickshaws to go back home. Seeing this, an aged man quipped, “Waah ni Punjab sarkare, tere rang nyaare.”
