Two Brothers in Amroha Seek DM’s Intervention After Repeated Job Denials Over Dwarfism
Two brothers in Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha, both living with dwarfism, have appealed to the District Magistrate after repeatedly being denied jobs despite their qualifications. The administration has promised to review their case, underscoring ongoing concerns about equal opportunity and disability rights.
The brothers met the DM this week, submitting a plea that outlines not only their financial hardships but also the discrimination they say they face during recruitment processes. According to them, employers routinely overlook their educational credentials and instead focus solely on their physical stature.
Local residents have voiced concern, calling the situation a stark reminder of the systemic barriers that continue to affect persons with disabilities despite legal provisions for equal opportunity. Community members say the case raises broader questions about accessibility, inclusiveness, and the enforcement of rights guaranteed under disability welfare laws.
Officials in the district administration confirmed that the matter has been taken into consideration. The DM has reportedly assured the brothers that the situation will be reviewed and that appropriate steps will be taken after assessing their circumstances.
For Santosh and Naresh, the appeal represents not just a request for employment but a plea for dignity. As the administration begins its inquiry, their case highlights the persistent challenges marginalized groups face in accessing livelihood and equal treatment—issues that continue to demand urgent attention in both policy and practice.
