Dear Kanchan Ma’am, You are right I am from Mumbai, I made my point because I am getting the feeling there are some people who just feel Braille should not be there and feel it’s not worth it, but I want to convey let Braille be there with other alternatives, I had a interaction with people few year back who were having multiple disabilities such as Blindness and Deaf and Dumb and I feel it can be useful for them, please correct me if I am wrong and let me know if any other solutions are available for people like them but Braille is basic and should not be excluded, but I do agree just putting Braille signage don’t make things accessible.
