While we hear numerous stories about the suffering of the Yaas victims, the one group that continues to remain invisible to all is people with disabilities – a population that cuts across all others regardless of gender, age, religion, geography or economic background.

They had much larger needs and fewer resources. Like any other individual able the differently able are also facing the dearth of basic essentials such as food and shelter and medicines. Their other needs – access to attendants, to healthcare, inability to maintain physical distancing, lack on any information or updates- each typical to the individual need of a person, were also impacted.

Mukti in Association with “Kolkata Gives” thought for them and provided dry ration to 40 such vulnerable at 6 No Sonakhali village under Basanti Block.
