70-year-old Rickshaw Puller In Odisha Moving Pillar To Post For A House For His Daughters

Cuttack: It's too strenuous a job for Babaji Samal to pull rickshaw at the age of 70, but acute poverty forces him to ignore his age and come out with his rickshaw every day to earn a living to sustain his three daughters.

Plagued by poverty, Babaji spoke to OTV and narrated his ordeal and revealed how he is moving from pillar to post for a house for his daughters and urged the government to at least help them get a roof over their heads.

As Babaji puts it, he has approached the concerned municipality officials several times, but he allegedly has not received any help. Left with no choice, he and his three daughters are living in a dilapidated house.
