Pooja Rani, a 27-year-old woman from Gajraula, Amroha, is making a name for herself and standing out in a profession that is usually dominated by men. Pooja is the only female e-rickshaw driver in her area, and with her 2-year-old daughter, Soni, wrapped safely in a scarf around her waist, she navigates the roads of Amroha to provide for her family. Her journey began when she requested her husband to teach her how to drive the e-rickshaw; overcome with initial hesitation, Pooja gained confidence as people admired and praised her for her determination.
Former deputy chief minister OP Soni has been arrested by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau for accumulating assets disproportionately to his known sources of income between 2016 and 2022. He is the fourth former Congress minister to be arrested, and investigations in the case are ongoing.
