  1. without having decision making power we can’t get social inclusion and sustainability.

  2. Disabled person with disablity below 80% are not eligible for any concession in Indian Air Lines. Please consider the disabled persons with a disability of 50% and do the needful to favour them.

    1. Kumarswamy I agree with you. BECAUSE after all handicapped person is only handicapped.please do not divided them in percentage[%].
