Shri Bonifes Ekka S/o Barnabas Ekka had come to Raj Niwas to offer his gratitude to the Lt. Governor for sanction of financial assistance for an artificial limb (hand) after his arm was amputated in 2009 upon coming into contact with a high tension cable.  Shri Bonifes Ekka was sanctioned Rs. 1 lakh in August 2012 for getting artificial limb due to his family’s inability to raise this amount from their own sources.  Shri Ekka was sent to mainland for getting the artificial limb fitted and training. After its success, Ekka is seen signing his petition with the artificial hand before the Lt. Governor during Tuesday’s Public Hearing at Raj Niwas on 25 June 2013.
