85-year-old man fights for 45 years; yet not given disability certificate
D.N.I.S. News Network
– This can happen only in
Tulsi Ram, a labourer from Bilaspur district, had lost his arms and an eye due to a dynamite
blast during the construction of the Bhakra Nangal Dam in early 1960s. Ever since, he has repeatedly requested
the State Government to certify him as disabled. But the concerned health
department officials have continuously refused to issue him a disability certificate,
effectively making him ineligible for a monthly Government pension of Rs.
200.
“We have been at it for almost half a century but have not got the certificate,” says Tulsi’s son. All four sons of Tulsi Ram are unemployed and barely make a living from their small agricultural plot. They said: “Now we have almost given up hope.”
