Hi!
Blind can also get the reservation in PH quota. But the reservation clarcs
are not aware about it. According to them, physically handicap means only
the persons with orthopedic dissability. In this case, I think we should
demand the written copy of such a clause with this provision.
But in fact there is a need to make a serias action for this. Because many
of us are faceing such kind of problems only and only lack of knowledge and
lak of willingness to cooperate from railway officials.
Regarding the quota, according to my knowledge, there is 2 birth reserv
in sleeper class only.
I am expecting views from other members regarding this issue.
Thanks and regards,
Rohiet A. Patil

Subject: [AI] Query regarding railway reservation quota for the
visuallychallenged.
Hello List,
I have a query regarding the special reserve quota for the blind in the
indian railway in second sleeper, chair cars or in AC. How much special
quota does available for the VI persons in railway to get the accommodation
facility. I heard that there is no special quota for the VI persons.
According to the railway website,
www.indianrail.gov.in
and the railway call centre 139, a blind cannot get the special quota to
travel in any of the classes; however, the special quota is reserved for all
the handicapped people.
Suppose, if a VI person wants to travel a long journey and there is no
chance to confirm his/her ticket upto the date of journey. In this case,
what action he has to take. There is no use to give a written application to
the railway authority, because again they will commit about the same.
Friends, can we take some serious action to get this facility in the
railway?
I hope, the same query may have in your mind, but it cannot be discuss yet.
Thanks and regards,
Amjad
