Thanked by PwDs for local body quota

CHENNAI: A day after Chief Minister M K Stalin announced that the state government will provide adequate representation for persons with disabilities by nominating them to all urban and rural local bodies, office-bearers of organisations for the disabled called on the CM and thanked him profusely for the announcement.

December 3 Movement state president T M N Deepak told the CM that it was unbelievable that over 12,000 PwDs would soon get representation in local bodies.

Sharing the moment in his X handle, Stalin said, “When the differently-abled people thanked me profusely by holding my hands, I felt I had received my birthday gift!”
