        Forty-year-old Mohan Singh can be a source of inspiration for many like him. Even as he has his both legs amputated up to the hip portion, he drives his scooter, works in his fields, looks after his farm animals and is independent in every respect. Hailing from Lasoori village in Shahkot subdivision, he came to the district administrative complex today for his work driving his scooter more than 50 km.
