Subject: [AI] Differently-abled persons were demanding government jobs
Karunanidhi breaks schedule to meet, convince protesters to withdraw stir
Special Correspondent
Differently-abled persons were demanding government jobs
lending an ear:Chief Minister M.Karunanidhi interacting with
differently-abled persons, at the Government General Hospital in Chennai
on Friday.
Chennai: Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi had an unscheduled appointment on
Friday.
After learning from the morning newspapers that differently-abled persons
were on hunger strike for the third day, he landed up at the Government
General Hospital even before his breakfast.
Delighted to see the Chief Minister personally arriving to listen to their
grievances, the differently-abled persons gave vent to their sorrow.
Saying their families shunned them, they pleaded for government
employment.
Informing them that the government had a separate department for the
differently-abled, the Chief Minister told them that they should have
approached him personally for redress of grievances. Promising to fulfil
their demand within a week, Mr. Karunanidhi asked them to give up their
fast and go home.
Based on the Chief Minister's assurance, they gave up their protest.
Assuring them that the government order would be passed soon, Mr.
Karunanidhi returned home for his breakfast, stated an official release.
According to it, the government had appointed 77 visually impaired persons
trained at the special educators training school in Poonamallee but could
not provide jobs immediately to 72 more differently-abled persons from the
same school.
As per norms, 2 per cent of special educators' posts are reserved for
visually impaired and 1 percent for differently-abled.
The latter were informed that they would also be appointed through
Teachers Recruitment Board as and when vacancies arose.
Contending that the government should not differentiate among impaired
persons, the differently-abled launched a hunger strike on Wednesday.
Despite the Chennai District Welfare Officer for the Disabled promising to
take up the issue and in spite of being admitted to the GH, they continued
their strike till the Chief Minister met them, the release added.
