BAJURA, SEPTEMBER 19

Bajura District Administration Office offered citizenship certificates to disabled people at their doorsteps on the occasion of Constitution Day today.

The DAO team provided citizenship card to Sita Jaisi, 16, of Budiganga Municipality at her house after she could not reach Martadi for the same due to her physical disability. Assistant Chief District Officer Samir Bhandari said the team offered the citizenship certificates to physically disabled people as they could not reach the DAO to make the certificates. Sita is in the group Ka. Bhandari said they offered the certificate to Sita owing to difficulty in carrying her to Martadi for the certificates and the poor condition of road caused by the rainwater. He added that Sita and her family members were elated after receiving the certificate.

Sita's father Megh Raj Jaisi said the DAO team led by assistant CDO reached the house and offered the card.

The team has been offering the card to those who cannot reach Martadi for the citizenship cards.

Similarly, the team also offered the card to Tek Saud at Tribeni Municipality some days ago. A team led by Bhandari provided the card to physically disabled Saud at his doorstep.
