At an event organized in connection with the International Day for persons with Disabilities by PU Child Welfare Centre at Dr Pervez Hasan Environmental Law Auditorium, special children amicably took part in several activities that highlighted that they indeed bear no disability.
They presented a special artistic rendition to expressed the pain they felt for Kashmiri children who haven’t been able to attend schools since the last four months due to Indian forces’ brutalities.
