Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh): Dozens of differently-abled people protested at the Department of Empowerment in Jabalpur on Monday, demanding the resignation of Commissioner Sandeep Rajak over unfulfilled basic amenities.
The protesters stormed the stage during the World Disability Day celebrations, snatched the microphone, and raised slogans against the commissioner.
The protestors, who had tied black bands to their arms, began a sit-in at the venue, declaring they would continue until their demands were addressed.
The disruption forced authorities to halt the event, and police and administrative officials arrived to manage the situation.
The protesters accused Commissioner Sandeep Rajak of corruption and neglecting their long-standing grievances.
The Grievances Include
These included the lack of basic facilities in schools for the differently-abled, delays in laptop distribution, and the absence of a dedicated building for a school for the visually impaired.
One of the protesters emphasized that their fight was not just for basic amenities but for inclusion and dignity. The group has demanded the commissioner’s resignation and warned that protests would continue if their demands were not met.
