Friends
What are the specific norms for making the built-in environment accessible and
barrier free?
What is the code, which, at least the government buildings should follow?
I require it to submit to various authorities who may be willing to make the
things accessible, but do not have clear guidance what to do legally.
Regards

Govt. buildings to go disabled-friendly
Special Correspondent
Focus on barrier-free environment
NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Thursday said all government
buildings in the Capital would be made disabled-friendly and new ones would be
constructed to promote a barrier-free environment.
Speaking at a function organised at her residence by the International Society
for Human Welfare and Rehabilitation (ISHWAR) to mark World Disability Day, the
Chief Minister said pavements in Delhi would also be made disabled-friendly so
that physically challenged people are able to move around with ease.
Ms. Dikshit, who distributed wheelchairs and modern wheeled walkers to over 40
differently-abled persons, pointed out that public transport in the city was
also being made disabled-friendly.
While the Delhi Metro railway conforms to international standards and provides
easy access and movement to the differently-abled, the new low-floor buses that
the Delhi Transport Corporation is purchasing have also been provided with
disabled-friendly features to ensure easy movement for the physically
challenged.
Moreover, the Chief Minister said, toilets in government buildings are being
made disabled-friendly.
