A differently-abled person Kruti Beesam on Monday met Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender and urged him to make polling booths in various parts of the city easier to access for the differently abled. Ms. Kruti requested that all the polling booths should have ramps, which will make it easy for senior citizens and persons with disabilities to cast their votes during these elections.

The ex-Minister agreed to the demand and wrote a letter to the State Chief Election Officer reiterating the need for providing ramps and other facilities at polling booths for the disabled persons.
