Imphal, October 07 2013 :
Alleging that disabled persons have been taken advantage of by giving false promises, vice president of the Association of Persons with Disabilities R.Kanrei, Ukhrul has appealed people not to take part in any event which seem not proper.
State Platform of Disabled Peoples Organisation (SPDPO) along with MANEDA had organized the 1st State Level Sports Meet for the disabled persons at Khuman Lampak Stadium, Imphal the advertisements for which were made in ISTV promising cash prizes of Rs 10,000, Rs 7000,and Rs 5000 per event for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners respectively.
They had also declared to give consolation prizes of Rs 1000 each per event for the winners but those were not what had happened.
The winners were not only denied the cash prizes but also made to return home without any arrangement for lodging facilities.
Kanrei has strongly warned people against such fake and money squandering events in a press release.
