Diethono Nakhro, State Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities has stated that persons with disabilities are always the worst affected in any situation of instability in the community.

She urged the people to take necessary steps to ensure that persons with disabilities and their families in Oting Village, Mon Town, and the entire Mon District are safe and their needs are taken care of during this situation following the tragic event in Oting Village.

In this regard, the District Level Committee on Disability may take charge and do the needful. Disabled People's Organisations, Disabled Parents Organisations and other NGOs in the sector may also be roped in together and impart information and take action where necessary in coordination with the District Administration.
