JVM leader and former Chief Minister Babulal Marandi has sent letters addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal highlighting plight of a lady Home Guard Radha Chauhan.

She at present is meeting her two ends by working as maid at the residence of a police officer in Delhi. looking at her courage and contribution the Government should ensure desired respect and employment to Radha Chauhan,” reads the letter sent on Sunday.
The leader has urged the PM and the CM that providing assistance to the lady was necessary so that she can live a dignified life ahead and added that such step would help in maintaining moral of the security personnel delivering their duty in demanding circumstances.
