Jammu: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, in a poignant display of desperation, members of Handicapped Association took to the streets of Jammu, pleading for the attention to their long-ignored demands.
According to Global Mirror, carrying placards and banners, the protesters highlighted the stark neglect and apathy faced by persons with disabilities, urging the administration to ensure social security, financial assistance, and legal safeguards.
“We’re forced to live on Rs 1,250 a month,” said Javed Ahmed Tak, a protestor, emphasizing the inadequacy of the current pension amount in today’s economy. The protesters demand a hike to Rs 3,000 per month, citing unbearable inflation and lack of basic amenities.
