Aiming at assisting hearing impaired people, who come to the Mini Secretariat, a help desk has been formed at the ground floor of the new building.
Employees having expertise in sign language have been appointed, who will ensure that such people will be properly looked after. Their issues will be addressed without any delay. Deputy Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav inaugurated the help desk.
This step has been taken by the administration, following the complaints that officials were not able to understand sign language, leading to harassment of the hearing impaired.
“A delegation of the hearing-impaired raised the problems being faced by them, so we have decided to start a help desk. We have given a room on the ground floor of the new building, where dedicated employees have been appointed for assistance,” the DC said.
The hearing impaired people will have to visit only the help desk. Further work would be done by the employees appointed there, the DC said.
