Dr.u.n.sinha narain I believe that you are in Uttar Pradesh kindly check out the real reasons for the problem at Varanasi and see how you can help rehabilitate these people if you have not already done so.
Organisations can do something but we as individuals also have a responsibility. Lets not forget this before pointing fingers at others. Also it is training in massage therepy and other professions that have stopped such incidents from happening regularly and all over the country. Correct me if I am wrong but I am told that Varanasi does not have any training or other facilities for the Visually challenged why do you not organise with the help of others from Uttar Pradesh some regular training, rehabilitation courses, personality development and courses on rights. Kochi is doing it regularly and systematically.I am sure the rest of us will be happy to share our expertise if you need it. There are many miles to go for an equal society and we need to take the steps. No point in sitting at your desk and writing emails if you cant back it up with action. Let us know on the list if anything is being done in Varanasi.
