Disabled Employees Demand 4% Promotion Quota Implementation
Imagine a group of people with disabilities who work for the government.
They have a rule that says 4 out of every 100 promotions should go to them.
But the government hasn't been following this rule.
The people with disabilities are asking the government to start following the rule so they can get promoted.
They say that a court and other rules have already said they should get these promotions, but nothing has happened yet.
The government says they are thinking about it, but the people with disabilities want action now.
They want to have the same chance to move up in their jobs as everyone else.
Odisha Disabled Govt Employees' Welfare Association seeks 4% reservation in promotions.
The Orissa High Court mandated implementation of the quota by January 30th of last year.
