Persons with disabilities, their caretakers and members of Tamilnadu Association for the Rights of All Types of Differently Abled and Caregivers organised a candle light vigil

waiting for a flicker: Persons with disabilities, their caretakers and members of Tamilnadu Association for the Rights of All Types of Differently Abled and Caregivers organised a candle light vigil on Tuesday, near Valluvar Kottam, urging the government to pass the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill, 2012, at the earliest. S. Namburajan, State secretary of the Association, said the Bill would bring in many changes. “For instance, the Bill recognises 18 kinds of disabilities as against the previous Act, which identifies only seven,” he said.
