new health sub-centre after a martyred soldier Suraj Bhagwan Budania, native of
Deenwa Ladkhani, a village in Fatehpur area of Sikar district (Rajasthan,

the Democratic Republic of the Congo in South Africa. "We have named two
government schools after the names of Mukhram Budania and Dharamveer Shekhawat,
who sacrificed their life for the country," said Kanhaiya Lal, sarpanch of

In
2006, Anita Devi of Singhaul village in Begusarai (Bihar, Bharat) had taken a
loan of Rs 21,000 from the State Bank of India to run a business, but her
husband, Sunil Mochi, showed no interest in running it. Two years later, Sudhir
Kumar was born to the couple. Kumar’s mother Devi died in a road accident in
2012, and his father ran away days later, leaving him behind. Kumar is now
under the care of his relatives. Recently, the boy received a notice from the
SBI, asking him to repay the loan that was taken by his mother, 10 years ago.
The boy sought help from his villagers after he received the notice. They
quickly came to Kumar’s aid and raised Rs 5,000 to pay the first instalment. The
8 year old orphan boy turned up at the Lok Adalat to pay the next instalment.
The district judge-cum-chairman of the Lok Adalat, Gangotri Ram Tripathi, in a
heart-warming gesture, after considering Kumar’s age, financial situation and
lack of family support, summoned bank officials and ordered the waiver of the
loan against the Rs 5,000 deposited earlier. The judge also issued a receipt of
settlement of the loan. GULF NEWS and INDIAN EXPRESS, August 16, 2016.

On
October 17, 2016, Smt
Jayakodi (22), wife of Shri Sudharsanan of Kizhvelur-Vandalur in Nagapattinam
district (Tamilnadu, Bharat), was travelling by Karaikkal-Tiruchy passenger
train. She was 9 months into pregnancy and was on her way to her father’s place
after her ‘valaikappu’ ceremony. At 8.30 in the morning, members of a political
party stopped the train midway as part of their rail roko agitation after the
train went past Kulikkarai station. By 11 AM Jayakodi complained of sudden
illness. Fellow passengers rushed to the guard and driver of the train and
asked them to move the train back to Kulikkarai station, as there was neither medical
help nor proper transport at the spot where the rail roko occurred. In spite of
rules against such a move, the railway employees agreed to take train back to
Kulikkarai station two kilometres away, where there was a ‘108’ ambulance kept
ready for the lady. After 3 hours of treatment at the government primary health
centre at Kulikkarai, she was taken to her house. DINAMANI, October 19,
