Imphal, December 04 2014 :
By just observing a day for the disable persons, the state government cannot claim that it is working for the disable persons.
This was stated by Chirom Opendro, President of Relief Centre for the welfare of differently able persons, Manipur while speaking to media persons at the inauguration of Winter Disable Mela at Tera Bazar here today.
Opendro further said that differently able persons will ever remain subordinate to others, unless the government implements a long term policy for the disable persons.
The 60 MLAs may also identify the differently able persons in their constituencies and extend assistance from their local area development funds, he suggested.
Opendro blamed the state government for indulging in lip service in regard to welfare of disable persons.
