Raipur, July 19 (HS). On the instructions of Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai, the district administration has provided battery operated motorized tricycle to the disabled. On receiving the battery operated tricycle, disabled Tikeshwar and Gauri have expressed their gratitude to Chief Minister Sai and the district administration.

34-year-old Divyang Tikeshwar Patel, resident of Village Atharguri of Pithora development block of Mahasamund district and 30-year-old Gauri Khandel, resident of Village Remda are very happy after receiving tricycle from Collector Prabhat Milk. Earlier, both the disabled persons had to take help of a family member or someone for commuting. Getting a motorized tricycle will now make it easier for them to travel in or out of the village. Divyang Tikeshwar Patel said that now he will get a chance to improve his financial condition further through his business. Similarly, Gauri Khandel said that getting a motorized tricycle has given me an opportunity to stand on my own feet.

Deputy Director of Social Welfare Department Sangeeta Singh said that both of them are more than 80 percent handicapped, so automatic tricycle has been given by the Social Welfare Department. So that they can do their daily work easily and earn their living through self-employment.
