DESTITUTE WOMAN SENT TO TAPOVAN ASHRAM

Raj Sadosh/Abohar.

A woman, who had been wandering in a destitute state in Abohar for several months, was sent today to the Tapovan Women’s Ashram in Sriganganagar with the assistance of the ‘Nar Seva Narayan Seva Samiti’.

NGO president Raju Charaya explained that members of the taxi stand near the Abohar bus terminal had informed him about an unidentified woman—who appeared to be mentally impaired—who would wander off during the day and return to the taxi stand at night to sleep. She had no known home or whereabouts. When the woman arrived at the taxi stand again today, taxi union leaders Gurbaksh Singh, Paramjeet etc. alerted Raju Charaya. Charaya said that he had already informed the Tapovan Ashram in Sriganganagar about the presence of this destitute woman.

Upon her arrival, representatives from the ashram—Bahadur Bhati, Sanju Chaudhary, and Sulochana Rani—arrived in Abohar with an ambulance. After coordinating with the City-1 police for verification and completing the necessary legal formalities, the woman was sent to the Tapovan Ashram.

Sulochana Rani said that there are already 112 women residing at their ashram, 11 of them from Abohar; this 12th woman from Abohar. She added that, given the woman appears to be pregnant; she will undergo a medical examination and receive treatment. Inquiries will also be made regarding her family; if she is unable to provide any information about her relatives, she will remain at the Tapovan Women’s Ashram.
