Andhra Pradesh, a neighbouring state of Karnataka, not only allows
visually-impaired to get appointed for gazetted positions but even provides
reservation for most of these positions. When a visually-impaired can be
appointed as a District Megistrate, as it was evident in just yesterday's
news about Shri; Gopal thiwari in MP cadre, what logic does Karnataka
Cabinet have in rejecting a mere Thasildar post to the visually-impaired? If
my information is not wrong, Karnataka has a very active State Commissionor
for persons with disabilities, and his Office can be approached on the
matter.

If I'm not wrong, there has been a similar case, I think, in
Rajasthan. If that case had a favourable end, that can be used as a
precedence.

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.
