As we all know, when any individual with disability faces rights violations, the person can file a complaint on the CCPD website and advocate without hiring a lawyer. However, CCPD has only recommendatory power instead of mandatory power, so it cannot effectively protect the rights of Persons with Disabilities or provide justice. If CCPD gets mandatory power: • Persons with Disabilities’ rights can be enforced more easily in daily life. • Individuals with disabilities can get justice faster instead of going to the High Court or Supreme Court. • CCPD will be able to impose penalties ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹5 lakh and sentence guilty persons to imprisonment. • Accessibility will improve because Persons with Disabilities will trust CCPD and advocate for themselves.

How can it protect disability rights? It’s a toothless tiger wasting taxpayer money. @PMOIndia @narendramodi @rashtrapatibhvn Please give it mandatory power to enforce rules! https://t.co/5bX89hwOhh ( https://x.com/Sugamyata/status/1907135616107827381?t=7lIWj-t4vuqIffNO2McE5w&s=03 )
