Tamenglong, November 17 2015:
The Disability Screening Board organised a district level disability screening session for the first time at Tamenglong District Hospital on November 16 and November 17 .
Altogether, 351 differently able persons applied for the screening.
Out of the 201 differently able persons who attended the screening, 129 were certified for disability benefits by the State Disability Screening Board.
The certificates of disabilities will be issued after counter-signing by the Chairman of the State Disability Screening Board.
Since a large number of differently able persons could not travel and attend the screening at Imphal, the District Health Mission Society, Tamenglong is planning to organise a screening session every three months.
