hello friends, in my opinion, government has to build beautiful footpath for
easy walking for all the people. it is the duty of government to create easy
walking area along the roads for disabled. we can take this matter in to
court for justice collectively. in india, most of the roads are either under
repair, or under construction work. we cannot walk on the road, but it is
the duty of the government to keep the footpath in good condition always.
then only we can think about safe and independent mobility with the help of
white cane.
with best regards
m.chandru

Subject: [AI] Guidelines for barrier free environment
Hi all,
Greetings from Eyeway Helpdesk!
One of our caller asked us if there are some guidelines in place to make
the hospitals accessible to persons with disabilities.
We could find the Guidelines and Space Standards for Barrier Free Built
Environment for Disabled and Elderly Persons, issued in 1998 by Central
Public Works Department, Ministry of Urban Affairs & Employment,
Government of India.
(www.urbanindia.nic.in/writereaddata/GuideLines%20of%20Schemes/92.pdf).
Are there any updates to these guidelines? and, are there any
international guidelines in place?
Thanks,
With best regards,
