Jamshedpur: Deaf and dumb athlete Sunny Chandra Bose, who won 25 medals at national level, today started an indefinite dharna alongwth his grandfather before the East Singhbhum Deputy Commissioner's office demanding employment.
Among his medals, the 21-year old long distance runner won 13 golds in various national championships organised for the deaf during the past three years, said Yugal Kishore Singh, Bose's maternal grandfather.
Singh said they resorted to an indefinite dharna after their repeated appeals to the Jharkhand government, Human Right Commission and the President went unresponded.
Bose had won five gold medals in the just concluded 2nd Jharkhand State Deaf Games here last week.
The athlete had bagged three golds in 5000 m, 4x400 m relay and 4x100 m relay in the 14th National Athletic Championship of the Deaf held in Siliguri last year.
"As we have no source of income, I have no other option than to beg to continue my grandson's sports activities ... He practices everyday without proper diet," 70-year old Singh, who sat on the dharna with a bowl in hand appealing for alms, said.
Bose hailed from Biharsharif where his father worked as a daily labourter. As his father was a moral follower of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, he named his son on the great fighter.
In a memorandum to the deuty commissioner here, Bose had appealed the district administration to arrange a job for him so that he could not only continue with his sporting activities but also improve performance
