The state government had amended the Rajasthan Municipal Act last year to introduce this provision of nominating PwDs to the ULBs as members, making it the first in the country.
After amendments in the Rajasthan Municipal Act, now it has become mandatory to keep one post vacant for PwDs in an urban local body.
