Woman who gave birth in queue gets Rs 2 lakh
Lucknow, Dec 28, 2016, DHNS:
Unlike many others, who may be feeling the pinch after being forced to stand in serpentine queues before banks and ATMs to withdraw money, this woman from Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur Dehat district must be thanking god that she stood in the queue, for it proved lucky for her.
Sarvesha Devi, a resident of the district, had given birth to a male child while she was standing in the queue before a bank at Jhinjhak town around a fortnight ago. Since the child was born while she stood in the queue for money, she named him ‘Khanjachi’ (someone, who takes care of the treasury).
As the incident made headlines across the country, UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav announced that the state government would provide a financial assistance of Rs 2 lakh to the woman. Two days back, Sarvesha Devi was handed over a cheque of Rs 2 lakh by Akhilesh.
Akhilesh had announced that the state government would provide Rs 2 lakh as compensation to the kin of the persons who had died while standing in queues before banks and ATMs for withdrawing their money in different parts of the state since demonetisation.
