District Director Stops Car After Finding Child Collecting Trash and Orders Enrollment in School

While driving along the road towards the checkpoint, District Director (DM) Anshul Kumar Dalkola noticed a child by the roadside. This child was holding a large bag and searching through the trash. The DM ordered the vehicle to stop and approached the boy, asking, 'Son, don't you go to school?' The boy answered negatively.

The video of this conversation between the DM and the child became public. The recording shows the child standing with the bag by the roadside, with officials in a service vehicle nearby. The DM talks to the child, motivating him toward education, and then instructs his accompanying staff member to arrange for the boy's enrollment in school. Afterward, the child is given a packet of cookies.

This child, named Mohammad Imran, lives in the Baisi district of the city of Purya. At the time, he was collecting trash by the roadside. At an age when children should be attending school, he was looking for items in the bag that could be sold for earnings. For him, the road, the trash, and the bag apparently became part of daily life.

DM Dalkola was heading to inspect the checkpoint. During the journey, he saw the child, stopped the car, spoke with him, and at that very moment, gave instructions to establish the process of his enrollment in an educational institution. Anshul Kumar, getting out of the car, often encounters children on the way, talks to them, and gives them cookies to motivate them to study. Therefore, Imran was also given cookies that day. He did not attend school, and the DM learned about this, after which the process of sending him to school began.

Although the video is short, the raised question is very significant: how many children of school age collect trash? How many children have bags instead of books in their hands? And why can some children not attend school due to family needs forcing them outdoors? Imran's story does not provide a complete answer to these questions, but it demonstrates the picture of a child collecting trash by the roadside and shows what can happen if an official's attention is drawn to this image.

Currently, the administration has instructed the organization of the child's enrollment in school. When Imran enters school, a book will replace the bag in his hands. He will be able to study regularly and continue his education, which may change the course of his life. Following the release of the video, the DM's behavior received high praise from people. The public believes that the official stopping, talking to the child, and motivating him toward education is a positive initiative in itself.

Village Children Appeal to District Official to Install Street Lighting

Three children from a village made an appeal to the District Magistrate (DM), requesting the installation of street lighting in their settlement. Their plea quickly went viral on social media. The children did not write long complaints or engage in arguments; they simply presented their case to the DM asking for the mounting of street lamps in the village.

The situation occurred in the village of Chak Ahmadipur, Moeher post office, in the Sanrai Akil circle, Kaushambi district. The viral video shows three children explaining the problem of the lack of street lighting. The children stated that they were afraid to go outside due to the darkness.

In the video, one of the children, with hands folded, says: 'DM Uncle, there is no light on any pole in our village. We children are scared to go out. Outside the village there are fields where animals live. We are scared, so please install lights.' The children did not limit themselves to words; they walked through the village streets to show the situation on camera. One of the children held a flashlight, which he used to illuminate the streets and show that there was no street lighting on the poles.

The video shows numerous poles on which the street lighting is not lit. A child shows the darkness in the village to the camera and says: 'Look at how dark it is in the village.' Through their video, the children tried to draw attention to the problems occurring in the village at night. One of the children introduced himself as Ashwani Rao and showed people the condition of the village, explaining the problem they were facing.

The small appeal by the children attracted the attention of social media and reached the District Magistrate Amit Pal. After the viral video appeared, the official took action. He then instructed the relevant officials to inspect the condition of the village and take measures to install street lighting. According to information, the DM directed Chaiyal XEN and Kaushambi BDO to conduct an inspection and issue orders for the installation of lights in the village. Thus, the complaint filed by the children to the DM reached the administration.

The entire situation attracts public attention due to the children's manner of behavior. They presented the village's problem to the camera in their own way: after pleading, they walked through the streets with flashlights, shining light on every pole to demonstrate the situation. The children emphasized that outside the village there are fields inhabited by animals, and therefore they are afraid to go outside in the dark. This is why they want street lights installed on the village poles so that the passages are illuminated in the evening and they are not afraid to walk.

This video, received from Chak Ahmadipur village, Moeher post office, is actively spreading on social media. It presents the whole situation from the children's perspective: from their appeal to demonstrating the streets using a flashlight. The children tried to convey their problem directly to the administration, and now District Magistrate Amit Pal has taken note of it. Under the direction of DM Chaiyal XEN and Kaushambi BDO, they were instructed to check the situation and request the installation of lighting. Thus, the plea of three young children has brought the issue of street lighting in the village to the attention of the administration, and actions regarding the installation of street lights are now expected.
