Karimnagar: Physically challenged girl given wheelchair on KTR’s initiative

Responding to tweet, KT Rama Rao instructed the district administration to arrange a wheelchair for the girl

Karimnagar: Collector RV Karnan handed over a wheelchair to a physically challenged girl, who was always being carried by her mother. The Collector handed over the wheelchair to the girl at the Collectorate conference hall here on Monday.

The 10-year-old girl from Pachunur of Manakondur mandal was a Class-VI student in the local government school. Since she was unable to walk on her own, her mother used to carry her to school and other places. Seeing this, a Twitter user shared a post on the child’s misery on Twitter, tagging IT Minister KT Rama Rao recently. Responding to the tweet, Rama Rao instructed the district administration to arrange a wheelchair for the girl.
