Govt must not remove specialist doctors from Shishu Bikash Kendras

State Minister for Post and Telecommunication Tarana Halim says the SIMs used by people with special needs which are yet to have biometric re-registration will not be deactivated on May 1.

IT is a sad reality in our country that people with special needs, instead of being supported, are shunned from mainstream society, denied their rightful opportunities for leading a normal life. To address this, various stakeholders at a talk have urged all 17 ministries in charge of development of people with disabilities to allocate a specific budget and a comprehensive plan of action geared towards empowering them.
