Immediately, Mr. Shetty took him to the ZP office where Mr. Kumara met them amid a video conference meeting. The officer then got a modified scooter being provided by the department of welfare of the disabled sanctioned to the youth soon.
Mr. Shetty also said the officer was concerned about environment conservation and has initiated several measures in that regard. Sahyadri Sanchaya convener Dinesh Holla and others were present.
