Murad celebrates Sindhi Culture Day with disabled persons

KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah advised people with disabilities to apply in large numbers for the job vacancies recently announced by the provincial government specifically for them.
He said this at a programme held at the CM House to mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, celebrated annually on December 3, and the Sindhi Culture Day, both observed on Sunday. The ceremony was attended by a large number of disabled persons on the special invitation of the Sindh CM.
He said he had invited job applications from the differently-abled through the national media as he vowed to solve their problems on an urgent basis in Sindh. The fresh applications have been invited for government job vacancies on the reserved quota for special persons. The Sindh government not only increased the quota from two to five per cent by passing a law in the provincial assembly, but also announced setting up a centralised office for persons with disabilities to help them apply for jobs. The feats were achieved by the disabled people following a protest held last month outside the Sindh Assembly building while the assembly was in session.
