Well, as far my understanding goes, Dattu, in his observation did not mean anything with respect to the technological accessibility, what probably he meant was that in case of online booking the railway tickets, our concession ticket is not mentioned anywhere, whether it be through IRCTC online, or Indian Railway site. If that be the case, I also share Dattu's concern.

Why do you say that this platform would be inaccessible? I believe that current mobile phone technology does support a number of browsers on mobile phones. Please check your facts before making such sweeping statements. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of dattu agarwal Sent: Friday, March 16, 2007 9:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AI] Now book rail tickets through mobile phones Hi Anil Kumar, it is a good news for sighted persons. but we visually impaired persons are denied from booking tickets on line. booking through mobile is a matter of far distance for us. i don't know why the organisations working in the field of blind welfare are keeping silence. if all of us put our united efforts it is not a big matter. there are many advocates on the list why con't they file a public interest litigation againest this kind of injustice towards the blind community. regards Dattu Agarwal.
