A RETURN GIFT

A RETURN GIFT

As a young athlete training to maturity, Saikhom Mirabai Chanu was too poor to afford conveyance to the Sports Complex which was far off from her house. She used to plead for a lift from passing truck drivers along the highway. They obliged and for years carried her to the stadium and in effect to India's silver glory at #Tokyo2020. Chanu has honoured 150 truck drivers with gifts and thanksgiving at her residence on her return from Tokyo.
