NTR district Collector G. Lakshmisha sanctioned a tricycle to a physically challenged person, Gadde Thambi, who came to the Collectorate, here on Monday. Mr. Lakshmisha, who was about to proceed to Tiruvuru, observed Thambi, crawling on the Collectorate premises.

“As both my legs are paralysed, I was unable to do any work. Please sanction a tricycle for me, Mr. Thambi told the Collector and showed his Aadhaar Card and Physically Handicapped certificate issued by the government.

Immediately, Mr. Lakshmisha directed the District Revenue Officer (DRO) Lakshmi Narasimha Reddy and Disabled Welfare Department Assistant Director Kamaraju to respond to the application submitted by Mr. Thambi in the Public Grievance Redressal System (PGRS).

The officers sanctioned the tricycle to Thambi in just an hour.
