‘Nominate persons with disabilities’ Jaipur: The court for specially abled persons has written to panchayati raj department secretary and director directing them to ensure nominating persons with disabilities (PwDs) in the posts of panchayat raj institutions.The commissioner for specially-abled persons Samit Sharma wrote the letter to the panchayati raj department citing reminders given by the centre and state government already having taken a decision to nominate differently-abled persons in urban local body posts. The petition in this regard was filed by national vice-president of Divyang Adhikar Mahasangh Hemant Bhai Goyal.In Rajasthan, the state government had amended the Rajasthan Municipal Act in March this year to introduce this provision of nominating PwDs to the ULBs as members, making it the first in the country. After amendments in the Rajasthan Municipal Act, now it has become mandatory to keep one post vacant for PwDs in an urban local body. The centre had earlier directed all states and union territories, including Rajasthan, to nominate differently abled persons to various posts in panchayati raj and urban local bodies. tnn https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/nominate-persons-with-disabilities/articleshow/87675487.cms
