Imphal, February 03, 2011:
All Tribal Disabled Union, Manipur (ATDUM) has reiterated its demand for notifying the medical authorities at the district level for issuing disability certificate at the earliest possible.
The Union has also threatened to launch various agitations in collaboration with its district units in case the Government fails to meet the demand.
In a statement signed by its president, the Union pointed out that at present, the State Medical Board is the only committee authorised to assess and issue disability certificate and it is placed at JN Hospital, Imphal.
However, there are many disabled persons in the State who face many problems in coming to Imphal for the assessment.
