EX-BOXER PLEADS FOR JOB

Former national boxer Krishna Rout, who has been cleaning open drains for the past 15 years as a temporary worker of Howrah Municipal Corporation, said he would appeal to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to give him a permanent government job of dignity. “Earlier I worked for five years as a sweeper of the Corporation, but in 2005 I was given the job of spraying disinfectants in drains which I have been doing for the past ten years,” said the 1987 gold medalist and 1992 silver medalist of the National Boxing Championship.
