Sir, Married Permanently Mentally Retarded sons should also be considered for Cghs fecility since marriage here is to lookafter the MR sons in their oldage after demise of parents and not for enjoying family life
Sir, Permnenantly disabled married son with no income may please be considered for cghs fecility. The mentally disabled son is married to lookafter him in his old age after parents demise. Hence please consider including married Mentally disabled sons for cghs fecilities.
