On Sunday, numerous members of the Jammu and Kashmir Handicapped Association (JKHA) organized a protest march, criticizing the government's lack of progress in enhancing the lives of the disabled, according to officials.

The protesters, holding banners and raising slogans, gathered near the Press Enclave demanding urgent government intervention for the welfare of the disabled community in Jammu and Kashmir, citing the government's historical neglect.

The demonstrators called for measures including special recruitment drives, increased pensions, low-interest loans, and reserved employment quotas. They were subsequently stopped and detained by the police but later released.
