MEERUT: Omvir Chaudhary, 46, hopes his daughter will one day end the family's life of penury. "She always had fire in her belly, but for poor people like us, we need food too," he said matter of factly as people lined up outside his modest house to congratulate him on Friday.
Omvir's daughter Rupal Chaudhary, 19, won bronze in the 400m race and silver in 4x400m relay at the World U-20 Athletics Championships in Columbia, USA. She is the first Indian athlete to win two medals at the global event.
