Lucknow: As many as 400 blind children associated with the 'National Association for the Blind' on eve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday took out a march here on Saturday, carrying in hand a 1.25 km long congratulatory card that comprises praiseworthy works done by the Prime Minister during the last nine years. It took two months of hard work to prepare this card.
On the occasion, Rajesh Singh Dayal, President, National Association for the Blind, said that it is the love and affection of the children towards the Prime Minister that on occasion of his birthday, the visually impaired children presented him a 1.25 km long congratulatory message.
