Renowned Pak poet’s daughter runs taxi for living

Lahore, October 18 

Pakistan’s revolutionary poet Habib Jalib’s daughter runs private taxi in Lahore for the livelihood of the family after her mother’s stipend was stopped in 2014 by the Punjab government.

Tahira Habib Jalib, a resident of Mustafa Town in Lahore, is serving as a captain of private taxi service in the city to earn their livelihood, Geo TV reported.

On Wednesday, the Lahore Electric Supply Company sent an electricity bill amounting to Rs 75,000 to Tahira, who lives with her sisters and their children, the channel said.

“I am the sole bread-winner of the family and I drive a car to earn money,” Tahira was quoted as saying. “The car that I am driving is brought on loan,” she added. — PTI
