Sathish wanted the Chief Minister to fill up the vacant backlog posts in disabled category in all the government departments. Steps to identify the posts and fill them according to the cadre strength should be taken, he said.

The Congress guarantee of increasing the PwDs pension to Rs 6000 has to be implemented without any conditions. The newly elected State government should work hard to enforce the Special Protection Act to prevent insults, injustices and discrimination against the disabled, he said.

Sathish lauded the Chief Minister for keeping his promise by giving a job to a PwD woman Rajini as soon as the Congress party came to power.
