New Delhi, Dec 22: Accepting a plea filed by a group of
visually-impaired persons, the Delhi High Court has asked the Union
government to comply with the
provisions of the Disabilities Act and reserve jobs for such
candidates in the government and PSUs.

In a recent judgement, a Division Bench of Justice A P Shah and
Justice S Muralidhar directed the Centre to fully comply with the
Disabilities Act, according
to which 3 percent jobs should be reserved for disabled persons,
including 1 percent for the visually-impaired candidates. Giving a
deadline to the Central
government till 2010 to fill up the job backlog; the Bench set up a
committee to monitor that the court order was complied with by the
government. However,
the court authorised the committee to appoint the non-disabled persons
in exceptional cases.

The court order followed a PIL filed by National Blind Federation
through advocate S K Rungta accusing the government of adopting
step-motherly attitude
towards the disabled.

He submitted before the court that job reservation was given to
physically challenged and hearing impaired persons in government
establishments but visually
weak or blind persons were deprived from their entitlement of 1 out of
3 percent under the Disabilities Act.

Mythic Journeys Conference: Hello, I hope it's okay to be asking this here -- I sort of feel like it's cheating -- but I'm registered for the Mythic Journeys conference in June, shoes and, knowing that some of you are also directing workshops and giving presentations there, I'm wondering if you'd be willing to talk about them, fashion or offer some more information about what you'll be presenting. I'm particularly interested in "Blood, Warrior and Wound," "Alternatives to Catastrophe," "Violence in Fairy Tales," and "Snow White, Blood Red," but if anyone else prada shoes would like to offer a description of what their intriguing workshop/presentation titles will entail, I'd be grateful.
Thanks,
