PGI Differently Abled union demands actions against Dy Superintendent over ‘discriminatory’ remarks

What Happened

PGI's Differently Abled Employees Union filed a complaint against the acting deputy nursing superintendent for allegedly making discriminatory remarks about disabled nursing staff at the Drug De-Addiction Centre. The union claims the official cited physical limitations of four disabled employees during discussions about handling violent patients, suggesting they cannot manage duties safely. The union argues this violates the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act and discriminates against disabled staff while ignoring constraints of non-disabled colleagues on medical grounds.
