State Platform of Disable People's Organisation Manipur and Handicapped Development Foundation Manipur jointly conducted a felicitation ceremony today in honour of Javed Mohammad, a disabled person who has been touring India on a car since March 8 beginning from Chennai.
He arrived at Manipur today and was subsequently feted by the aforementioned organisations.
He was accompanied by two friends on his tour.
Javed Mohammad expressed his gratitude for the ceremony in his honour and shared that he had met with an accident in 2011 which had caused his disability.
He said that several people who shared his fate continue to stay at home and stressed on the role of rehabilitation centres in ensuring disabled people's independence.
He further said that he embarked on this tour to set a Guinness World Record.
When he finally accomplishes this dream, other disabled people will realise that they can be independent like him, he added.
