Tricycles Provided to Disabled Individuals in Bihar and Madhya Pradesh Break Shortly After Distribution

Two separate incidents in India involved tricycles provided to disabled individuals that broke down shortly after distribution. In Bihar's Gopalganj district, a schoolgirl named Soni Kumari received a manual tricycle following viral social media attention, but it reportedly broke within days, prompting criticism over equipment quality and officials' response. In Madhya Pradesh's Guna, a tricycle given to Ramratan Ojha during Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia's visit became unusable after the wheel bent; officials attributed the damage to a motorcycle collision and promised replacement, while witnesses disputed this account.
