In a heartening incident, a mother from Pune drove a two-wheeler along with her friend to Jamshedpur, covering a distance of 1,800 km to meet her sick five-year-old son. The woman took the step as she couldn't afford a flight and long-distance train services are suspended due to the COVID-19 crisis.

The woman identified as Sonia Das, a resident of Bhatia Basti in Kadma, Jamshedpur, became restless when her husband informed her that their son Dhruv Jyoti has fallen sick and developed fever. Taking to Twitter, Das tagged the Jharkhand government and even approached the Maharashtra government's helpline number, but got no response, reports Times of India.
