Chandigarh, July 14
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has ordered the formation of a dedicated disability cell for the welfare of persons with disabilities.
Divulging the details, the CM said the formation of the dedicated cell was a long pending demand of this strata of society. He said the persons with disability had to face a lot of difficulties for availing the benefits of the several government schemes/ programmes meant for their well being.
The CM said this dedicated cell will be a single window platform for the persons with disabilities to avail the benefits of these schemes. Likewise, he said persons with disability can lodge their complaints and give their suggestions to make the functioning of this cell more efficient. Mann said this initiative would enable this section of society to live their lives with dignity and pride.
Reiterating firm commitment of his government to ensure welfare of all sections of society, the CM said several historic initiatives have been taken in this regard. He said in the coming days, his government would ensure that benefits of all welfare schemes reach the needy and underprivileged sections in a time-bound manner.
