Imphal, July 30 2021:
State Platform of Disabled People's Organizations (SPDPO) Manipur earnestly appealed the Government to reconsider the beneficiary list of Chief Minister COVID-19 Affected Livelihood Support Scheme.
It maintained that ever since the outbreak of COVID-19, the problems of the differently abled persons and widows in the State have increased manifold.
The organisation also highlighted that there are many differently abled persons in the State who are deprived of various grants and aids provided by the Government.
Throwing light to the severe sufferings of differently abled persons and widows who have been worst hit by COVID-19, the organisation appealed the Government to include differently abled persons and widows under the said scheme so that they can avail the benefits, said a press release by the organisation.
