A delegation of visually impaired civil service aspirants today met Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh in New Delhi and sought his intervention for their induction in the services for which they have qualified.

The delegation was also accompanied by CPI-M politburo member Brinda Karat. Dr Singh assured the delegation for all possible help in this regard.

The delegation also submitted a memorandum to Dr Singh over discrimination faced by two visually impaired persons Ajit Kumar and Ashish Singh Thakur who, despite having cleared the Civil Service Examinations in 2008, were not inducted in the IAS.
