Last Updated: Jul 29 2019 | 7:36 AM IST

Balrampur (Chhattisgarh), Jul 29 (ANI): Jagdamba Singh, a differently-abled resident of Balrampur in Chhattisgarh, drives auto to earn livelihood for him and his family. However, his vehicle has become old now, and he wants the government to step forward and support him to get a new three-wheeler since he has taken loans to maintain his auto in work. "I don't earn much. I bought this auto long back and it faces issues. I take loans for its maintenance. A new auto would help me," Singh told ANI. State's Social Welfare Department has been instructed to look into the matter of the differently-abled man. "We have given directions to Social Welfare Department; we will help him to earn better livelihood in whatever way possible for us," said Sanjeev Kumar Jha, District Collector, Balrampur.
