Subject: [AI] FW: A great courageous move by CCPD with far
reachingconsequences
The office of the present Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities
has taken the big bold move of sending a show cause notice to their own
bosses for not taking action on the recommendations of CCPD office in the
previous years. He is doing what the earlier CCPDs should have done in
their
respective tenures.
It will be great if this can force the government to act on the
recommendations for the disability sector.
