Protest against merger of department with Women and Child Welfare Department
Chairman of the Congress’s Physically Challenged wing, Muttineni Veeraiah held a half-naked protest at the Women and Child Welfare Commissionerate protesting against the merger of Department of Physically Challenged Welfare department with the Women and Child Welfare Department.
Mr. Veeraiah said a separate department for the physically challenged people had existed since 1983 to take care of their interests and the TRS government had merged it with the Women welfare hitting the very existence of the physically challenged people.
Across the country separate departments were created for the physically challenged people based on an Physically Challenged Welfare Act in 1993. An independent department for the disabled was also stressed upon in the 2016 Disabled Rights Act.
