Ludhiana: At the age of nine years, when most children play with toys, Ranjot Singh from Ludhiana sell Bhelpuri to make a living.
Like him, his two sisters, aged 11 and 6 years, also stopped learning last year because they could not afford smartphones.
Everything gets worse when their father died of a heart attack in March this year when their mother remained unhealthy.
The family cannot eat in a day and no relatives or friends who are advanced to help.
Without the remaining options, Ranjot, residents of Khajoor Chowk, Salem Tabri, set up a cart outside the liquor vend near Jalandhar bypass to sell Bhelpuri.
Speaking with Toi, said Ranjot, “My father was a driver of the Autorickshaw.
Last year when locking was enforced, my sister and I had to stop learning because we were unable to buy a smartphone.
When our father died, I started working.
I only knew how to make it Bhelpuri, so I arranged the train near the liquor vend.
“He paid Rs 20 per day rent for handcart and on average gets 20 to 25 customers.
“I worked from 9am to 10pm and got Rs 200 to Rs 300 every day.” Ms.
Ranjot, Komal said, “I remain unhealthy and I can’t work.
I feel sad because my child must work at this age.
After my husband’s death, no our relatives came to help.
I also approached several politicians, but they were It also did not help because my husband’s death certificate was in my in-laws’ ownership, which refused to give it to me.
What I want for my children is education and normal life.
They studied at the nearest private school, but had to break up.
I’m afraid when my child going to work near the vend as a drunk person often makes a disturbance there.
