Blind persons stage demo in Multan

MULTAN: Dozens of blind people staged a demonstration against the district administration outside the DCO Office on Tuesday. They also blocked the road to register their protest. They said that the government had allocated 3pc quota for blind persons in government jobs but the district administration was allegedly reluctant to recruit the blind people on vacant posts.
Assistant Commissioner City Attaur Rehman held talks with the blind persons. He said that 15 blind persons had been recruited against the vacant posts according to the 3pc quota. The protesters rejected the AC’s claim and said they were promised that they would be given jobs but the promise was not fulfilled so far.
