People in Karnataka join this brilliant officer in the protest to see him as Tehsildar which he rightly deserves. Thank you The Hindu for making this Front Page Story. http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/i-dont-have-both-eyes-but-siddaramaiah-does/article6299933.ece As the protest by gazetted probationers of the KPSC 2011 batch intensified on Saturday, 32-year-old Kempahonnaiah showed no signs of fatigue. Selected on his second attempt at the exam, the visually-impaired candidate was to become a tahsildar. But the Cabinet decision put paid to that dream. "I wanted to set an example to other blind people that they can also achieve success in life," said a dejected Kempahonnaiah.
A native of Chowdanakuppe in Kunigal, Kempahonnaiah teaches at the Government PU College in Chowdanakuppe. "I met the Chief Minister two months ago. He had promised justice. I don't have both eyes, but he does. I request him to review his decision," he said. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
