A single mother in Telangana charts a 1,400 km scooty ride to bring her son back during lockdown

• Razia Begum, a school headmistress in Bodhan town in Nizamabad district, was not going to let her son brave through the crisis alone.
• She hopped on her scooty and rode for 1400 kilometres, just so that she could bring her son home.
• Her son Nizammudin, who is preparing for medical entrance at the Narayana Institute in Hyderabad, travelled to Nellore in Andhra Pradesh right before the lockdown.

Due to the coronavirus lockdown, thousands of people are stranded at different places. But Razia Begum, a school headmistress in Bodhan town in Nizamabad district, was not going to let her son brave the crisis alone. She hopped on her scooty and rode for 1400 kilometres, to bring him home.

She travelled to Nellore in Andhra Pradesh where her son was. Her son Nizammudin, who is preparing for medical entrance at the Narayana Institute in Hyderabad, had travelled to Nellore with a friend after the latter’s father was not keeping well.

Right then the lockdown was announced and he was stuck in Nellore. She took matters into her own hands and took permission from the police to get her son home.

"It was a difficult journey on a small two-wheeler for a woman. But the determination to bring my son back overtook all my fears. I packed rotis and they kept me going. It was fearsome in the nights with no traffic movement and people on roads," she told PTI.

She is a single mother of two sons, as her husband had passed away earlier.

Her brave story has now gone viral on social media with everyone applauding the mother’s spirit and love for her son.
