Nanded: Govt employee writes to boss to allow him to reach work on a horse

In a bizzarre request, a government employee from Nanded in Maharashtra asked his employer to allow him to commute to work every day on a horse.

Satish Punjabrao Deshmukh, who works as an Assistant Accounts Officer in the Employment Guarantee Scheme Department at Nanded Collectorate, has written a letter to the Collector’s office seeking permission to come to work daily on a horse.

According to the letter, Deshmukh suffered from back pain and was looking for a convenient way to reach the office on time every day. Due to his back pain, riding a bike to work was not feasible option. Unable to ride a bike or afford a car, Satish had chosen to buy a horse instead. In his letter, Deshmukh along with permission to arrive office every day on a horse but also demanded to “park” the horse within the office premises.

The letter, which surfaced online, has gone viral on social media with some poking fun at the bizarre request while others sympathized with the man.
