For 40 years we have been taking care of our disabled daughters. I am 70 and my husband is 75. We don’t know how much longer we can take care of them.

My younger daughter R. Sarvani  is 90% disabled and cannot move. The elder daughter R. Gayathridevi is 72% disabled, when she walks, she often slips and falls and needs constant assistance.

Our sons are settled in the US and Canada. They would like to take care of their sisters when we cannot.

Unfortunately we have not been able to apply for a passport due to my daughters’ severe physical disabilities..  

The nearest Passport Seva Kendra is 110 km away from our residence and my daughters have to be personally present in order to apply.

Travelling by bus or train is very hard for them. Due to our old age, my husband and me are also not able to help them travel.

It is our humble and earnest appeal to Smt Sushma Swaraj and the Ministry of External Affairs to help us get passports for our daughters without insisting their physical presence at Passport Seva Centre distantly located.

I have faith that Smt Sushma Swaraj and the Ministry of External Affairs will listen to our request and help us get passports. Sign our petition and help us get the passports for our daughters.
