Shrimant Jha, 25-yr-old para-athlete from Bhilai who won several medals at National & International level in arm wrestling and has also been leading Chhattisgarh specially-abled cricket team, requests state govt to provide him employment so that he can concentrate on his games

"I want administration to see my performance. I also have diploma in Mechanical engineering. Like how players are being helped in other states, I want Chhattisgarh govt to help me so that I can concentrate on my game & win a medal for the country at upcoming Olympics", Shrimant Jha said.

His mother has claimed that she had to sell all her jewellery to support him:

I sold whatever jewellery I had to send him abroad for games. My husband lost his job 4 yrs ago. We are struggling to make both ends meet. He is getting weak in lack of proper nutrition. I request CM to provide him with the job he deserves: Shrimant's mother Manorma Jha pic.twitter.com/lapPgB8Avq
