15 yrs old daughter pedals 1200 kms over 7 days from Gurugram to Darbhanga, carrying her injured and jobless father as the pillion rider



Jyoti Kumari is a 15 year old girl from Bihar who carried her wounded father from GURUGRAM (Gurgaon) to their home village in DARBANGHA district (Bihar) on her bicycle covering 1200 kms over 7 days during the lockdown in May 2020.

Kicked out by his employer during the lockdown, the daughter Jyoti pedalled back home with her father riding pillion. After this crazy feat of endurance and love the Cycling Federation of India, an academy, under the aegis of Sports Authority of India, is looking into the possibility of training her to  be a world-class cyclist.

The young girl deserves the 'carrot' in 'Carrot N Stick'.

Durg (CG) to districts in West Bengal (1100+ kms) by bicycle towards the end of 1st week of nationwide lockdown against Coronavirus/ Covid19 in end-March 2020 by about 35 migrant labourers.
Almost all of them had very little money left in their pockets and most were riding empty stomach.
The location appears to be somewhere in the jungles of Sirpur and Barnawapara (CG) on erstwhile NH6.
