Daughter-in-law reached the bank carrying her 90 year old mother-in-law on her back in the scorching sun, this video from Chhattisgarh will shock you

19Daughter-in-law Carries Mother in Law: In Chhattisgarh, a daughter-in-law was seen carrying her 90-year-old mother-in-law on her back amidst the scorching heat. Actually, this daughter-in-law was going towards a bank, a journey which included crossing dense forests, rocky paths and small rivers.

A video of this incident is going viral rapidly on social media. This heart-touching video has shocked people to the core, and has also raised serious questions on the condition of government facilities in rural areas.

A tough journey to pension

According to media reports, the name of the woman seen in the video is Sukhmania Bai. She carried her mother-in-law on her back for about 9 kilometers to the bank, so that the elderly woman could collect her pension. Road and transport facilities in this area are extremely poor; As a result, local people are often forced to walk several kilometers. This journey becomes even more difficult due to dense forests and hilly areas. Villagers say that reaching the bank has become a big challenge for the elderly and sick people living in this area.

A heart-wrenching compulsion captured in video

When the person making the video asked the woman why she was carrying her mother-in-law on her back for such a long distance, she told that it was necessary for the elderly woman to be physically present in the bank to collect the pension. Pension amount is not given without biometric fingerprint scan and identity verification. The woman further said that due to lack of any kind of vehicle facility in the village, she had no other option but to travel on foot. In this route one has to cross many small rivers and pass through rough and dangerous roads.

In Kunia Jangalpara of Mainpat, the daughter-in-law carries her 90-year-old mother-in-law on her back to the bank for 9 kilometers every month…
This is not just a picture, it is a big question on the claims of “good governance”.
On one hand the daughter-in-law’s dedication, on the other hand the insensitivity of the system.@vishnudsai #mainpat #PensionStruggle #BankRules #Question on arrangement pic.twitter.com/VwRyc8xfif

During the conversation, another woman told that earlier pension payments were easily available in the village itself, or local government officials used to deliver it directly to people’s doorsteps. But, now that facility has been stopped. As a result, families now have to take their elderly members to the bank themselves. Every family gets a pension of about ₹ 1,500. This amount is often given for several months at a time. The need to undertake such an arduous journey for such a small amount of money has caused considerable distress among local residents.
