Relief for differently-abled employees
The step by the Tamil Nadu government to exempt its differently-abled employees from attending office following the surge in COVID 19 cases is really praiseworthy.
The differently-abled employees need not come to the office till June 20. This is a big relief for them. The central government has already issued an order and directed state governments to exempt differently-abled people from attending the office.
The pandemic and consequent lockdown have come with diverse challenges, from sourcing essential supplies to accessing medical treatment, exercising social distancing, public transportations, and much more. The need of the hour is that the State governments should facilitate their differently-abled staffers.
