Participants of the conference also called upon the government to make mobile devices duty-free or make these available at subsidized rates for the disabled peoples that has become an international norm. They were addressing a one-day conference organised by Pakistan Disabled Foundation (PDF) at the auditorium of the National Skills University. PDF is struggling for the betterment of disabled persons of the country.
Issues related to information and communication technologies for PWDs especially for blind persons were also discussed to emphasize that, despite government funding, these are still awaited.
