Woman threatens to kill self, kids outside Modi's house over job

Nadiad, Jun 7 (UNI) A woman, who was promised a job by the State government after her husband's death, threatened to commit suicide along with her three children in front of Chief Minister Narendra Modi's residence as she is yet to get the job.

Chandaben Simonbhai Mahida was assured a job by the Kheda District Collector Office through a letter on April 23 this year.

She had lost her husband, a malaria field worker, in November 2000.

She has three children with no source of income.

She had earlier met Mr Modi at Katlal in Kheda district during a meet on 'Beti Bachao Andolan' there, and narrated her woes to he chief minister, who then ordered officials to look into the matter.

Acting on the directive, the District Collector's Office had issued the letter.

However, when nothing materialised, she yesterday sent an online message alleging: ''As your promise has not borne fruits so far, I will commit suicide with my three children in front of your house.'' UNI
