The provincial government of Punjab has introduced a new mobile application to help persons with disabilities access essential assistive devices more easily across the province.
Citizens with disabilities can now apply for wheelchairs, hearing aids, and other assistive equipment directly through a dedicated mobile application called “Batao Maryam Ko.”
The application allows users to submit their requests through a few straightforward steps, removing the need for lengthy in-person visits to government offices throughout Punjab.
Officials stated that this initiative is designed to reduce difficulties faced by persons with disabilities when seeking access to necessary assistive tools and support services.
The government has urged eligible citizens to submit their applications through the app as soon as possible to ensure timely provision of the required assistive devices.
For further information, guidance, or assistance regarding the application process, citizens may contact the dedicated government helpline by dialling the number 1000.
