A disabled young lady of Naikpada village, Maniguda Panchayat, Nuapada district, Komna block, approached the District Collector with various problems. Reena Hans (29) is the youngest daughter of Makaran Hans of the village. His height is only 3 feet. The government benefits said that the disabled are not getting any benefits except monthly allowance of 1200 rupees. The brothers did not give him anything to eat because he was not doing any work. Living with my father on Rs 1200 per month is becoming difficult. Due to disability and short height, it is not possible to do any heavy work. He applied for a 3-wheeler many times but did not get it. To go to a far distance, he takes the help of others. Being disabled, getting a 3-wheeler, accommodation, ration card and other facilities has become a dream for Reena. Reena has passed the second year in 2024 and is sitting at home. On April 1, 2025, she met the District Collector and reported various problems. In Zillapal’s letter number 6464, Komna directed BDI, Zilla Supply Officer and District Recruitment Officer to appoint him in any department. But even after the years have passed, since no success has been found, they have come to the door of the District Collector. Rina said that she had come with the hope that she would be able to do well if she got some government or private job. At this time, with his father, the District President of the Disabled Persons Association Bhaktibandhu Dharua, Block President Padman Majhi, Shukdev Sahu were prominently present.
