Chandrapur, March 26

Amid travel restrictions due to the lockdown, a 26-year-old daily-wager walked over 135 km without food from Nagpur in Maharashtra to reach his home in Chandrapur.

As people started returning to their homes amid lockdown, Narendra Shelke managed to catch the last train from Pune to Nagpur, but was stranded after lockdown.

Left with no option, he started a foot march on the Nagpur-Nagbhid road on Tuesday to reach his village. He walked for two days without food and survived only on water.

On Wednesday night, a police patrol team spotted an exhausted Shelke in Sindewahi tehsil and arranged a vehicle to take him to Jambh village. Shelke has been home-quarantined for 14 days, the police said. — PTI
