KHAR: The physically challenged persons on Thursday asked the government to increase the job quota and establish a special education complex in every district to facilitate and train the members of their community.

Speaking at a press conference here, special persons Hazrat Wali Shah, Qasim Khan and others said that the job quota for the physically challenged persons were five percent in other provinces while in Khyber Pakhtun-khwa even two percent quota was not being fully implemented.
