Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao exhorted everyone in the society to support the disabled as one among us and put efforts for their empowerment.
Greeting the ‘specially abled’ on the occasion of “International Day of Persons with Disabilities” on Saturday, KCR, in a message said, No Human being is perfect in this world and life towards perfection can be achieved only through overcoming hurdles with self-confidence.
