In Chhattisgarh's Surguja district, a woman named Sukhmania Bai carried her 90-year-old mother-in-law on her back for 9 kilometers through forests and rivers to reach a bank. This was done to collect a pension of 1,500 rupees, as the elderly woman's physical presence was required for fingerprinting and the 'Bank Mitra' had stopped visiting their village. The incident highlights the poor infrastructure and administrative failure in remote areas. Following the viral video of the incident, bank officials have promised to deliver the pension directly to their home in the future.
