Larger Srinagar, Dec 4: CPI (M) State Secretary M Y Tarigami has called for a comprehensive reservation policy for the disabled in private educational institutions, training and professional colleges and other employment concerns to empower the disabled population in Jammu and Kashmir.

In a statement, he said the recurring cycle of violence in the State has necessitated the urgent need to evolve, develop and focus on measures to build capacities among this miserable lot for their dignified living and equal opportunities to progress and development.

Demanding setting up of a Disability Commission in the State, the senior legislator said that the administrative structure would be instrumental in looking at their problems holistically and formulating policy inputs for their welfare. He said the State’s Social Welfare department is overburdened and is not capable to redress the grievances of the disabled accounting for over 3% population in Jammu and Kashmir.
