Imphal, May 25 2013 :
The All Tribal Disables' Union (ATDUM) has slammed Social Welfare Minister for allegedly failing to keep her words.
A statement issued by ATDUM recalled Social Welfare Minister Ak Mirabai reported commitment/statement on the floor of the Assembly on July 12, 2012 last year assuring appointment of full time Disability Commissioner within three months from then.
Strongly denouncing the inaction of the concerned Minister towards the fulfilment of her assurance, the ATDUM alleged the Minister of fooling the physically challenged persons around.
It further pointed out that gross irregularities in the implementation of various schemes like financial assistance for physically challenged persons, unemployment allowance, scholarship, IGNDPS and Old Age Pension became more common than before.
