PwDs agitate in Meghalaya over 4 pc job reservation

Shillong, Dec 3 (UNI) The Federation of Persons with Disabilities (FPD) in Meghalaya on Tuesday took to the streets demanding the implementation of 4 per cent job reservation for persons with disabilities.
The Federation has also threatened to seek legal recourse against the Meghalaya government if it fails to implement fully the job reservation in accordance with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, at the earliest.
''We were forced to agitate in the streets after the Conrad Sangma-led government has turned a blind eye to our genuine demand for the past one year,'' FPD leader, Starwin Kharjana said.
