That’s why People in Pakistan because of such government actions they talk about change.

Internet Package for Disabled People A Request:

 

The government has announced a special DSL-internet package for students, forgetting disabled people in the process of conceding these special benefits. Such packages can help the disabled in achieving a quality internet service that they may put to effective personal use.

PTCL should provide this facility to those disabled persons who possess attested disabled certificates from either the NCRDP (National Council of Rehabilitation for Disabled Person) or the PCRDP (Provincial Council of Rehabilitation for Disabled Person) of social welfare offices. I extremely request especially to the honorable President of Pakistan and Prime Minister of Pakistan and to the Federal Ministry of Social Welfare and Special Education , Please don’t let us be ignored. We hope that government will soon announced special discount Internet DSL package for Disabled People.
