“The children suffering from multiple disabilities need various facilities for their rehabilitation and this feat cannot be accomplished by efforts by a small group of people,” Maqbool said.
“We need a cohered effort and dedication so that we are able to provide some relief to these needy children,” he said.
Maqbool said that Kashmir valley has witnessed an increase in the number of people with multiple disabilities because of the turmoil and the government and various NGO’s need to come forward to provide a helping hand to them.
“The government should formulate a policy that will go a long way in providing help and succor to these special children as the rehabilitation process is cumbersome and even very costly,” Maqbool said.
He said that presently we do not posses any special rehabilitation center or facility to provide any help to the children suffering from multiple disabilities.
Zargar also stressed the need to create awareness among people so that the chances of children suffering from multiple disabilities are reduced.
Special children from Life Line Special School also presented a dance item on this occasion. Later the Chief Guest presented awards to special children who participated in different shows.
