Man returns home after 45 yrs, family shuts door
Uttarkashi: 19.05.2020
A 70-year-old man who landed at his house in a village in Uttarakhand on Saturday, some 45 years after he had abandoned his family, was shown the door by his wife and children. After his homecoming dream turned sour, the septuagenarian who had nowhere to go was quarantined at the panchayat bhawan in Jestwadi village in Chinyalisaur block of Uttarkashi district.
Village residents and members of the community said efforts are on to persuade his family to “forgive” him.
Surat Singh Chauhan had left home sometime in 1975 and worked in an apple orchard in Himachal Pradesh’s Solan until the lockdown forced him to return. But when the family was informed of his impending arrival, they told officials they did not want him back. TNN
