Manendragarh, September 11: A man in Chhattisgarh did not shave his beard for 21 years with a resolve to make Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur (MCB) a new district.
His resolve was fulfilled on Friday with the Chhattisgarh government launching MCB as the 32nd district of the state.
Ramashankar Gupta, a resident of Manendragarh is an RTI activist. Gupta shaved his beard after 21 years after the announcement of Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur as new district in August last year. Since it took almost a year for the newly-announced district to be inaugurated, Gupta again did not shave his beard for one year continuing his resolution.

“The resolution was that I will not shave my beard till Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur does not become a district. If Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur would never become a district, I would not have shaved my beard either. It was a struggle for 40 years. The actual people who fought for the recognition of the district have all passed away. Now their souls will rest in peace,” Gupta said.
