SRINAGAR: The visually-impaired students Wednesday turned up in Press Enclave for creating public awareness that these specially-abled children are special and can do any task.
I was asked to leave the school in 2006 when I was studying in 5th standard. The school officials of Kreeri Sheespora Baramulla told me only normal students can study here and we cannot teach a student like you and shunt me out of school, said Danish Ahmad Mir of Baramulla.
The visit was arranged by an NGO National Association for Blind.
The NGOs general secretary Javaid Ahmed told Kashmir Life that todays visit wasnt meant to protest or demand anything but to create public awareness that these blind children are special and can do any task.
I was thrown out of the school office when I ask the concerned school officials that I want admission in the Yekmanpora Middle school of Baramulla, said Shabir Ahmad, another visually-impaired student.
