undoubtedly, mobility discomfort demands certain action to be taken up in this regard. Given the amass population, huge trafic on the roads, rash driving, big gutters, giant poles on the footpaths and of course, stray dogs are glearing examples of mismanegement in the towns. and by virtue of being blind We are exposed to sufferconsiquences while venturing out every time. Now, since the issue has got the fire, let it be lit untill it reaches to its logical destiny. And for that, lobbying as the first and the formost pressure tool comes to my mind. In delhi, MCD and NDMC should be targetted. Further, Now we have our own CCPD, hense, subject can be taken to the higher thrown sitters quite comfortably and convincingly. filing PIL is a capital idea, moreover, sustained campaigning should be speeded up to impart awareness among policy-framers and exicuters. in the end, I must stress that blind community has excelled in achieving memorable successes towards realising their denied dues. But, what about those fellow beings, who are not either in Delhi or mumbai. living in small cities and countryside. without doubt, they fall often in such holes, and find countless animals on the way,find no human to heel their woes. Hope this movement will benefit them later than never. And NGOs working for blind will move their focus from center to perefery soon.
