Govt to give job to India's 1st heptathlon Asiad gold-winner
The West Bengal government has decided to provide Swapna Barman, India's first heptathlon gold-winner at the Asian Games, with a job. Barman, who endured severe toothache for two days before her Asiad medal, is the only earning member in her family. Swapna's father worked as a rickshaw-puller before getting bedridden following a stroke, while her mother worked as a tea-picker.
