Making life easier:The facility on Platform No. 1 of the Bangalore City
station is the first of its kind initiated by the Indian Railways.
The Indian Railways has set up an exclusive waiting room, complete with a
restroom and wash area, for senior citizens and persons with disabilities
at
the Bangalore City railway station's Platform No. 1.
According to a press release, this area would be maintained by a
non-governmental organisation that runs battery-operated vehicles on the
platforms for senior citizens and persons with disabilities.
"The NGO would also ensure that senior citizens and persons with
disabilities are picked up from the point of arrival and taken to this
waiting area prior to boarding.
On the arrival of the train, the battery-operated vehicle would take them
to
their coach.
The facility is the first of its kind initiated by the Indian Railways,"
the
release said. The venture is supported by ELGI Equipments India Ltd.,
Coimbatore, as a part of its corporate social responsibility.
Thanking the company for its support, S. Mani, divisional railway
manager,
said similar facilities shall be provided at the second entry of the
Bangalore City railway station as well as at the Yeshwanthpur station in
the
next financial year.
