Travel allowance for hearing impaired employee is denied the benefit of double TA which is given to OH and partilal blind persons.Eventhough VI pay commission recommomends to all disabled persons it is with held for deaf and dumb persons all over India.Even deaf cannot use hearing aid in hot sun and rain .Why this disparity?Can any body approach min.social&Justice.
