Man reaches home in Assam after taking 2,800-km trip from Gujarat

GUWAHATI: Jadav Gogoi reached home in Assam after completing 2,800-km trip from Gujarat's Vapi region. He was a migrant labourer who started his journey with Rs 4000. He walked, hitchhiked often for a fee to reach his destination by which time he was exhausted. He was robbed of his money while he was on his way. Finally he managed to contact his family via someone's phone. The man is from Gadharia village in Nagaon district.

“He could barely move about when he reached the toll gate, walking the last 1,000 km from Bihar. He called up members of his family from the phone of a local person who took pity on him. Our members took him to the nearest police station from where he was admitted to the civil hospital in [district headquarters] Nagaon,” said Dibyajit Hazarika of the Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chhatra Parishad told media.

His samples have been sent for testing as he is an arrival from outside the state.
