|December 02, 2024
CHILDREN with intellectual and physical deformities in the families affected by the 1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy are determined to leave the past behind. They want to create a niche in the world of para-sports.
At the forefront is 17-year-old Disha Tiwari, whose intellectual disability disorder (IDD) has failed to prevent her from shooting to success in the basketball arena.
Eldest among the three children of Mahesh Tiwari and Arti Tiwari, Disha was part of the Indian team, which won the silver medal in the basketball event of the Special Olympics World Games Berlin 2023.
