Azim Mansoori approached SDM seeking urgent help in finding a suitable match

MEERUT: Local SDM in Kairana , Amit Pal Sharma, received an unusual complaint on Tuesday when a 26-year-old and 2-foot 3-inch tall Azim Mansoori approached him seeking urgent help in finding a “suitable match”.

Azim, who dropped out after Class V, claimed that his family has not been helping him in finding his life partner . As a result of Azim’s desperate attempt to involve SDM, a team from Kotwali police station visited his house in Chowk bazaar in Kairana and held a discussion with his parents.

Azim now claimed that the visiting police officials have assured of action and gave two months to his parents to act. “Policemen came to my house. They have assured me that if my family doesn’t find a partner for me in two months, they will help me in finding one,” Azim said.

The local police, trying to intervene in the matter, are in a fix. “We were sent to enquire into the matter after Azim approached officials during Tehsil Diwas, noting that his father and uncle are getting in the way of his marriage. We have assured him of all possible help,” said Rajendra Kumar Nagar, SHO Kairana.

“Azim was confident that he can manage his family after marriage and is dreaming of breaking his fast in this year’s Ramzan with a wife,” the SHO added.

Naseem Mansoori, father of Azim, who runs a general store and is president of NGO Anjuman Kizamt-e-khalq which supports poor children with education, is helpless when it comes to his son’s marriage. “Despite his age, he still has child-like innocence and exhibits some physical constraints apart from the stunted growth. It has been really difficult to find a match for him,” Naseem said.

A determined Azim has been relentlessly pursuing for a life partner for months now. In December last year, he had travelled to Lucknow to attend a relative’s wedding, and even managed to meet former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav with his urgent plea and the latter had reportedly assured to find a match for him.
