Divyang Boy at Collector's Grievance Cell, Submits Petition for a Suitable Bride

BHUBANESWAR: A differently-abled youth hailing from Odisha’s Angul turned up at the grievance redressal camp of the District Collector and sought the top officer’s intervention to find a suitable bride for him. The incident struck an emotional chord with one and all present at the camp.

As per the report, a Collector’s redressal grievance camp was organised at Chhendipada Panchayat Samiti office on Monday. Among others, there was Sanjib Mohapatra, a divyang boy from Nuapada village under Chhendipada block with a unique grievance.

In his application, Sanjib stated that his elderly parents are not able to search for a match for him. And, his elder brother is living separately. So he is facing a lot of problems in his daily life. Basically, there is none to cook food for him. This is why he is in need of a life partner.

“As I am a divyang, parents are reluctant to marry off their daughters to me. So please search for a match for me from any ashram in Angul district," he appealed to the District Collector.

“My parents are no longer able to cook food due to their advancing age. I have requested the government to find a life partner for me,” he said.

Neither the Collector nor any administrative official could be contacted for their reactions.
