šŸš—Apparently, ā€œā™æļø Reserved Parking for Persons with Disabilitiesā€ now secretly means: ā€œVery Important Person with Driverā€ 🤔 Dear Government Drivers, That spot isn’t for your boss's ego, it’s for someone’s right to access. Let’s not confuse power with priority.

Where is your biometric exception policy for body parts that are present but cannot be captured, whether due to psoriasis, difficulty making eye contact, arthritis etc Aadhaar ? And why despite a clearcut SOP for absent body parts, is a disabled individual facing such difficulty?

Learnt nothing from Dr Amrapurkar's death, Mumbai? 🤬 timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/4-… Blind person may miss open drains unless cane sweeps in constant contact with ground. As for complaint being 'attended' to ą¤®ą¤¾ą¤ą„€ Mumbai, ą¤†ą¤Ŗą¤²ą„€ BMC , why don't you stock drain covers? Mobility aid users are still stuck

Wheelchair user will either get heat stroke or get drenched in the rain Greater Chennai Corporation. 🤬 The seats are spacious and comfortable, but the inner pavement edge to seat end of this model is 1.5 feet more than the earlier stainless steel model. Do we have 12.5 feet wide pavements?

It took 5 years of legal fight with the state of Karnataka to get what was rightly earned by Vishwas. While it is a positive development, it is also sad to understand that the beaurocrats/ red tapes culture is frustrating the possibilities at the roots epaper.newindianexpress.com/c/77798994

The QR code on street name boards is a good initiative and is useful for print disabled, though Navilens QR code would have been better for blind. It could lead to a street page with zone, ward, police etc details. Project Mumbai has history too! āŒSign logos = waste of space.

.Airports Authority of India Regional Executive Director AAI Southern Region TUTICORIN AIRPORT PMO India How has new Tuticorin airport terminal been inaugurated without Section 44 clearance under Rights of Persons with Act, 2016? Do you WANT blind people to fall down steps / escalator as there's no tactile warning? #Accessibility

Seriously IndiGo ? Are we eyeballing people now to decide whether they look like they need wheelchair assistance? The trope of Indians abusing wheelchair service as jugaad for a Meet And Assist Service (MAAS) doesn't hold good for the many service failures in domestic travel.

DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) Greater Chennai Corporation Udhay Office of Udhayanidhi Stalin Priya At least someone has got their priorities right from day one! Kudos to whoever implemented this thoughtful gesture right from the start. There is some hope after all in this country otherwise bereft of inclusive thinking for all persons with disabilities. Thank you Greater Chennai Corporation!

It's known in disability circles that Air India avoids using WCHC SSR code because that would mean ambulift / aerobridge charges. IndiGo has started illegally capping wheelchair users / flight to 4 - there is 0 transparency on SSR type. Airlines need reigning in DGCA!

There is so much hype attached to air travel and airports. Why are simple processes like wheelchair services such a mess for over a decade? It does not inspire confidence, this inefficiency. And in India we have rail stations and bus terminals aspiring to be airport-like. šŸ¤¦šŸ¾

... And the GCC-Kilikili-DRA #Play4All consultations for 10 inclusive parks kick off! Thanks Maithree Centre, Pallikaranai for hosting. How does one start? By putting the adults to 'work' on long forgotten games like tag / 'Chains'! What's age for the young at heart?! #Parks4All
