Taking everyone by surprise, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Sunday allowed a handful of children in Morinda to take a joyride in the Punjab government’s chopper.
Sharing the pictures on his Twitter handle, Channi said: “During my visit to Morinda, saw children playing near the helicopter. When I was young, I used to see planes & think that one day I too would get a chance to sit in it. Reminiscing about the same, I made a few village children fly with me in helicopter & fulfilled their dream (sic).”
In a related tweet, the Chief Minister said: “While interacting with them, I felt that there was no dearth of talent in Punjab, but there is a need to give proper guidance to these children. I promise all the children of Punjab that I will do my best to create a bright future for them (sic).”
