Indore: Facing abject poverty after the
death of her husband, a 34-year-old labourer on Saturday stopped the
car of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and made him come
out to narrate her tale of woe.
Vimla, who was in financial trouble after she lost her
husband three months back and had a loan to repay, took the
Chief Minister's security by surprise when she breached the
cordon and stood before Chouhan's car when he was leaving
after attending Antyodaya Mela programme here.
Officials tried to remove her but she stood her ground,
forcing Chouhan to get down.
She relented only after narrating her problems and
extracting an assurance from Chouhan that all possible help
will be extended to her.
"I badly need financial support and that is why I stopped
Chouhan to inform him directly about my problems," Vimla told
reporters later.
