My friend is right! Cane is not a full proof system for mobility. One has to take in to consideration the amount of time which one could spare for covering a distance. On foot paths there are so many branches of the trees which hit your forehead and you start profusely bleeding and some times you have to go for stitches to stop the same. There are many electric polls too which hit you and are not generally covered by the stick. In the given circumstances, where citizens are not enlightened and civic authorities are sleeping. A disabled person will have to take risk of his life when he adventures to go out for his day to day work. With regards, Vip
