Imphal, December 09 2013: Different district level disable's organisations have urged the Government not to recruit normal persons against 3 percent reservation of physically challenged persons in the office of ADCs.

Speaking on behalf of these bodies at a press conference held at Manipur Press Club, All Disabled Union of Sadar Hills President Mangkholun Khongsai said, the Supreme Court decreed to reserve 3 percent of the total seats for disables in the recruitment of different posts in ADCs on October 9 .

As the State Government failed to execute the same in Manipur despite SC's decree, the matter was again complained to the High Court by the district level disable's bodies.

3 percent reservation for disabled candidates in the recruitment of different posts in the office of ADCs was finally put into effect following a directive from the High Court, he added.

He also warned that no normal candidate must be appointed against the quota of physically challenged persons.

Saying that a body christened, All Disabled Union of Hill Districts have been formed, Mangkholun Khongsai said that the union would be officially launched on December 13 .

He also said that All Tribal Disabled Union Manipur (ATDUM) and its leader Momo Tangtanga are not recognised by the district disable's bodies.
