Monday, 18 June 2018 16:00

A man in India has walked over 800 miles in order to highlight an alleged “unfulfilled promise” made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Muktikant Biswal set out to walk from the eastern state of Orissa to the capital Delhi on 16 April with an Indian flag in his hand, but was hospitalised in Agra, 135 miles away from his destination.

Mr Biswal said he wanted to "remind" the prime minister of his promise to upgrade a hospital in his state.

He has now resumed his trek and is expected to arrive in Delhi later this week.
