Odisha tribal, who once walked 10km carrying wife's body, strikes it rich
Dana Majhi, the \"helpless\" tribal man from Odisha who last year walked for 10 km carrying his wife\'s body on his shoulders, is now carrying all before him - he now owns a house and a motorbike.
Kalahandi (Odisha) : Dana Majhi, the "helpless" tribal man from Odisha who last year walked for 10 km carrying his wife's body on his shoulders, is now carrying all before him - he now owns a house and a motorbike.
The turnaround in Majhi's fortunes came after the video clips of last year's incident shook the nation's conscience.
After hitting the headlines, the Kalahandi resident, who has remarried, got a house allotted to him under the Pradhan Mantri Grameen Awas Yojana that is under construction.
He even got financial aid from donors, including Rs 9 lakh from Bahraini Prime Minister Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa. He did not have a bank account earlier, but now has sizeable fixed deposits.
Majhi's three daughters get free education at a residential school in Bhubaneshwar.
He on Tuesday arrived on the same street, which he had walked with his wife's body tightly wrapped in cloth after being unable to pay for a transport in August last year, on a brand new Honda bike that he bought from a showroom after paying Rs 65,000.
