Subject: [AI] Coach for People with disabilities in Railways - a follow-up
Dear all,
I remember, there was a huge discussion on this earlier. Wondering, if any
of you know updated information.
Additionally, wanted to share an incident I have noticed recently.
Howrah - Chennai Superfast mail has two such coaches one at the front and
another towards the end of train. When a couple of passengers with
disabilites went to front side coach, it was crowded with all non-disabled
users and couple of policemen standing there told that it's not their
responsibility to get them vacated and the second coach which is just
before the guards coach gets such support and those two folks had to walk
all the way to end of the train. Yes, the guard was supervising the coach
and was not allowing any passenger who does not have a disability.
I was shocked, when there are two coaches, why they do not offer necessary
support. Since that was a station where train halts almost 20 minutes,
those folks were able to walk all over the train, but what could have
happened if train halts only for a minute or two or if they are mobility
impaired?
Do you all think, taking up this issue with CCPD office would help?
Best,
-Srini
