A Railway Porter Paragraph
In 140 words, for class 5 to 8
A railway porter is a person who, for a small sum of money, carries heavy luggage to and from the train. Earnings are very low compared to hard work in this profession. That is why railway porters have to live a very difficult life. Moreover, their social status is also at the lowest level. It’s a sad thing. But the hope is that employment is higher now than in the past. As a result, porters are rarely seen at railway stations today. Now the passengers carry their own luggage. I think the profession of railway porter should be completely abolished. At the same time, other disrespectful and inhumane occupations, such as the work of a rickshaw puller, need to be eradicated. Instead, a new profession should be created, through which one can earn enough and which is not considered disrespectful.
