Quetta: International day of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) was celebrated on 4th December with the collaboration of Balochistan Government and other Civil society Organizations at Boys Scouts headquarter Quetta.
PWDs are not burden they are also a part of this society told Mr. Zia Khan while he was talking with Balochistan Voices. He further added that we the PWDs can do everything which other able persons can do in this universe. But we have a lot of problems in Balochistan. No facilities for special persons in every field of life while they are riding tricycle or motorcycle. Face a lot of problems to park Vehicles on road sides.
Other PWDs told that there is no special health facilities in hospitals for disable person in an emergency service.
Due to Social welfare department more than 200,000 registered PWDs are being facilitated by the government. However PWDs told that these slogans are just spoken words there is no ground work for welfare of disable person.
PWDs demanded from Government of Balochistan to ensure merit base appointments on 2 percent job Quota and increase it from 5 to 10 percent to cover the gap of lack of job opportunities for Disable person.
