New Delhi: Expressing “disappointment” with the AAP-led Delhi government for not working in the community’s welfare, differently-abled persons will hold a march on October 6 urging Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy CM Manish Sisodia for a comprehensive dialogue with the members.
The march will start from ITO and end at Delhi Secretariat where the members will press for their demands which were previously “promised” by the AAP in their election manifesto. “We are highly disappointed by Arvind Kejriwal-led government which has not worked on issues like certification for differently-abled people, education facilities  as promised,” Representative of Centre for Research and Policy in Disability, Radhika Alkazi, said. “Certification is one of the major issue. Only 22 per cent of the disabled population have received certificates ,” a member of Delhi Viklang Adhikar Manch, Murlidharan, said. (PTI)
