Help people with special needs!
Journalist K. Priya has lodged a complaint with the Human Rights Commission, requesting that steps be taken to support the livelihoods of persons with special needs, focusing on their problems.
K., a resident of Periyamadu, Mannar. Priya (42) had lodged the complaint against the Sri Lankan Army and the Ministry of Social Services on March 6, 2022.
She further called for the release of lakes and lakes rich in resources to facilitate the livelihoods of the people and to facilitate the needs of persons with special needs as well as others.
Revealing that human rights violations have been taking place in this area for a long time, she stressed that there have been reports of human rights violations in areas such as Sannar, Ichchalavakkai and Mannar districts and that the public has evidence of them.
He said that only part of the tank had been released after he had complained about it, adding that people with special needs should be provided with the means to meet their economic needs and live like others.
Especially those with special needs living in the North and East after the war are in a tragic situation. They too have become part of society, acknowledging the brutality of war. Therefore, it is unfortunate that such a group is forgotten and development plans are drawn up.
The irresponsibility of the Ministry of Social Services, which is supposed to work for the betterment of the society, as well as the military, which is deployed for the protection of the people, cannot be condoned in this regard. Therefore, it has been pointed out that the above two parties cannot take away the responsibility of taking steps to improve the living standards of persons with special needs and releasing lands, tanks etc.
