Dehradun, June 19

Physically challenged people staged a dharna at Parade Ground here today in support of their demand for a commission for disabled in Uttarakhand.

The protesters, led by Uttarakhand Disabled Association president Anant Mehra, said the commission for disabled was needed urgently in the state to address their genuine concerns. The three per cent quota for disabled in the state government jobs was not being implemented.

They warned to stage a march to the Chief Minister’s residence if their demand was not fulfilled.
