ITANAGAR, 24 Jul: The All Arunachal Pradesh Divyangjan Youth Organisation has submitted a memorandum to the governor, seeking his intervention in establishing a special court and a helpline for persons with disabilities (PwDs) in the state.
In its memorandum, the organisation stated that “the 36th report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Social Justice and Empowerment 2021-2022 in the seventeen (17) Lok Sabha clearly stated for creation of separate special courts in the states.”
It said that “the ministry of social justice & empowerment (department of empowerment
of persons with disabilities) mandates for special courts in the states and UTs.”
“Further, the committee in its report had recommended the creation of a helpline for PwDs in the state,” the organisation said.
It lamented that the state government has not implemented the same despite the recommendations.
