Hi One of the means to achieve this is by making a petition at change.org The default page, in many an occasion has accessibility issues. One should take care to make the petition fully accessible. The second big task is to get people to sign it.
DGCA would be the correct authority to address it. I amy add here, DGCA is now pretty sensitive to disabled needs. This has happend by the positive interaction of NGO's with them.

' Subject: Re: [AI] Announcement at airports Dear Shireen Absolutely correct, we need to have some officials comments. Request George, Harish & other senior people to guide as how can we have any official comment on this topic. To list out the names of few airports where the announcement are stopped, will request our list members to share their findings during their recent travels, with the names of the airports they visited. This will help us to collate the data and move one step further. Look forward for your support. Request the list members to send their feedback directly on my email id, to avoid traffic on the list.

Subject: Re: [AI] Announcement at airports i think mr george has asked a pertinant question. before taking any immediate action it must be established whether all airports r doing this with all airlines following the same policy. i have no legal knowledge but i still think it must be varified whether this new norm or system is an official mandate or some general theory of particular staff members at the airport. i'm not doubting the news, but i'm slightly reluctant to believe that announcements would be entirely banned in the name of noise polution. would it be possible for any1 to insist on some authentic official source claiming the same?? again, i'm not sure if my concern is vallid. its just a quary because i think your gonna need the official source to fight the cause in the 1st place. best, Shireen.
