Ferozepur,
\nA family of Guruharsahai last week wrote to the Prime Minister to seek \u201cpermission for euthanasia\u201d. Manohar Lal of Guruharsahai and his wife Shashi Bala have<\/p>\n
two sons and a daughter but all their children are differently abled since birth.<\/p>\n
The family has no source of income. Whatever resources they had have dried up over the time, forcing them to live a life of penury. All their efforts to seek help<\/p>\n
have come to a naught.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been reeling under abject poverty for the last 33 years,\u201d said Manohar. He said a few years ago, after a lot of effort, the state government had<\/p>\n
sanctioned his family a pension of Rs 500 per month, which he alleged was not only meager for the family, it also didn\u2019t reach in time.<\/p>\n
The eldest of his children, Gagandeep, is 33 years old, followed by Punita and Ankush who are 28 and 24 years old, respectively, he said.<\/p>\n
Manohar said when the children were small, their situation was still manageable but now, it had become difficult to take care of their daily needs. \u201cI somehow<\/p>\n
managed to get my younger son educated till Grade X with the hope that he might get some job but that didn\u2019t materialise,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Manohar said earlier, he had a small business but since he had to give a lot of time to his children, he suffered losses and now, the financial deficit on account<\/p>\n
of loans had assumed large proportions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
