 “The all identified children will be equally benefited”, promised Gurjar.

Central Govt’s Rs. 200 crores project is to provide various artificial body parts to the handicaps, so please utilize the project, urged Gurjar to Tripura CM.

“Although Tripura is a bordering state but Modi Govt.’s Act In Policy will do full justice with Northeast”, said Union Minister. He also mentioned that with today’s Rs. 56 lakhs equipments the central govt. will give machines for all 10,000 deaf children.

Answering media questions that whenever Union Ministers come they hold talk about law and order, but why it’s not followed up, he said, “Law and order fully depends on the state govt. as the central can’t do much from there”.

 “Central govt. is however working on it”, he added.
