Imphal, February 10, 2011:
All Tribal Disabled Union, Manipur (ATDUM) has decried the the State Government for not constituting Medical Authority at the district level for the issuance of disability certificate.
Re-constituting of State Medical Board with the Social Welfare Department in this regard is against the long standing demand of the union, a release said.
Alleging that the Government has ignored the problems faced by the physically challenged people of the hill areas, the union said that these people face lots of inconvenience in reaching Imphal for the assessment of disability certificate.
Regarding financial assistance, the union said that one time aid of Rs 3000 is too less.
It also demanded increase of the amount of various schemes.
