"After the death of my father in a bomb blast opposite Mansa police station, we were forced to leave our native Sher khan village. Lack of income also led us to take shelter with relatives.. Two years ago, I lost my legs in an accident and am now living on artificial limbs. I approached the department for a clerical job, but got no response," said Hardeep Kaur.

Heena, an engineer, daughter of Gurmel Singh of Bhagwanpur, said she had also sought a clerical job in the department, but was awaiting a response.
