CM Kumaraswamy extends helping hand to handless woman
Bengaluru: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Friday morning found a woman a handless woman near his residence at JP Nagar in the city. The chief minister spoke to her and provided her a job and disability pension.
It is a daily routine that hundreds of people with various requests come and stand in front of the Chief Minister’s residence in JP Nagar. But today morning a handless woman with a baby was found standing in front of the CM’s house. The chief ministers noticed her and asked, why have you come here? “My name is Shaila, and I have come from Davangere. My right hand was cut off in a lorry accident, but I learned to type by right hand, provide me a job,” the woman responded.
Then the Chief Minister asked her to come to Vidhana Soudha. CM Kumaraswamy received her at Vidhana Soudha at 11:30 am. Then he instructed the concerned departments to immediately provide her a typist job in Davanagere and disability pension.
Speaking at the occasion, CM Kumaraswamy said “government should have the mother's heart. With this, we can do a lot of work in the system itself. But to help people in the unorganized sector, we need to work by expanding our legal frameworks. My heart was moved to see her in such a pitiful state. There are hundreds of thousands of people like her. A separate arrangement has to be made for their employment.
