Gaurav Gogoi Urges Action on Assam's Differently-Abled Demands
Gaurav Gogoi, a Member of Parliament, is asking the government to help people with disabilities in Assam.
A group representing these individuals met with him to share their problems.
They want the government to give them a special pension and fill job openings that are set aside for them.
The group had trouble meeting with the minister directly, so they asked Gogoi for help.
They're threatening to protest in Delhi if their needs aren't met.
Gaurav Gogoi wrote to Union Minister Virendra Kumar.
The letter addressed concerns of differently-abled persons in Assam.
Meeting followed a request from Pratibandhi Suraksha Sanstha, Assam.
The organization sought Gogoi's intervention.
Demands include pension implementation and filling job vacancies.
