Subject: [AI] Soon,facilities for the physically challenged at all police
stations
This morning How come this surprising news...
But certainly when PWD Act 1995 is about to be replaced perhaps this
department has also felt the need that look, Disabled can also come to
lodge FIR independently. So you have legal capacity, you know.
undoubtedly this announcement is a welcome move.
Hope they act on this promise soon.

Delhi Police is now in the process of making arrangements for the
physically challenged at all police stations and unit offices. The
department is in talks with the Ministry of Social Justice and
Empowerment under the Government of India and an expert will be
appointed to conduct an audit of all police stations and submit a
report to the Ministry. The matter will be referred to the Ministry of
Home Affairs for administrative sanctions and approval.
Police sources told Newsline that the talks were initiated earlier
this month after the department felt the need to equip its offices
with facilities for the physically challenged.
A senior police officer said: "The force is meant for the public and
our job is to deal with the public. For physically challenged persons,
we have decided that basic facilities need to be there to help them
approach us easily."
The idea, police sources said, is to install physically
challenged-friendly toilets and ramps for disabled persons at all 181
police stations, 11 offices of deputy commissioners of police and
other unit offices. Police sources said the project, when approved,
will be facilitated under the Scheme for Implementation of Persons
with Disabilities Act.
Sources said an expert has been identified and will be appointed by
the Ministry to conduct an audit of all the offices and prepare a
report to make buildings physically challenged-friendly.
"The Public Works department (PWD) will be asked to prepare an
estimate of the cost of the entire project and submit the same to the
department and the Ministry. The Ministry of Social Justice and
Empowerment will then fund the project. The matter will also be
forwarded to the MHA for administrative approval and expenditure
sanctions," the officer said.
There are 181 police stations in the city, of which 113 police
stations are running in their own buildings, 10 are under
construction, 22 are yet to be constructed and 36 are yet to get their
land.
"The police stations that are being constructed and those that have
been approved and construction is slated to begin in the coming
months, have taken care of the aspect. These too be will be audited,"
the officer said.
