NEW DELHI: Thanks to Sushma Swaraj, an Indian man who walked a 1,000 kilometres for justice in Dubai , is finally back home in Tiruchirappalli , Tamil Nadu.Jagannathan Selvaraj, 48, covered a distance of 22 km each way to attend labour court proceedings at the Dubai Courts, he told Khaleej Times recently. He was living in Sonapur on the outskirts of Dubai and had to go to a neighbourhood called Karama in the city to attend court.To make it to every hearing, he walked from Sonapur to Karama and back, a journey that took him a total of four hours. And he did this for every court hearing which took place every couple of weeks - for a total of 20-plus hearings - because he was too poor to afford bus fare.As Sushma Swaraj said: "We have brought him back to India and sent him to his village. He went up and down to the court 20 times over a year. That made it 1000 Kms."
