The grandmother asked someone in the village to read Kashi Yatre to her while the narrator was away.
False. The grandmother did not ask anyone in the village to read to her; she only thought about it but felt too embarrassed to ask anyone else, so she waited eagerly for the narrator to return.
Explanation
The statement is false. According to the provided text, when the narrator was away, the grandmother could not read the latest episode of Kashi Yatre. She mentions that she 'even thought of going to the village and asking you to read for me' but could not bring herself to do it. The related textbook question also confirms she felt 'embarrassed to ask someone else to read to her', which is why she helplessly waited for the narrator's return instead of asking someone else.
