[AI] Expressing disappointment- Damodar rope way Gangtok restricts boarding of visually impaired tourist on their rope way

[Mohammed Tausif Iqbal]

Dear group members
Warm Greetings, I recently visited Gangtok for a veccation with my family.

During the trip, we were taken for a ride on a rope way, "Damodar rope way".

The manager ticket counter expressed his concern" our company doesn't
permit to board person with disability on ropeway, but we allow all
normal person including 10 month kid"

this is the matter of "lack of sensitivity" or "inhumane"?
Regards
Tausif

strong on advocacy and who can take the work ahead. 

I am requesting all of you to apply. Those   who think they are too senior

the formal route. For those who think they are not good enough my personal

mistake please forward my email.

[AI] Karnataka assembly elections: Sunitha Rao R reports: Visually challenged liftman take the poll plunge

[avinash shahi]

BENGALURU: A visually challenged lift operator and a mestri
(construction works supervisor), who doubles as a social worker, have
taken the plunge in Pulakeshinagar
assembly constituency and are taking on former MLA and Congress
candidate R Akhanda Srinivasa Murthy..While social worker D Jayaram,
64, who is a skilled
construction worker, is contesting an election for the 18th time,
Gunalan M, 46, who has been working as a lift operator for four years
at Manyata Tech
Park, is in the thick of a poll battle for the first time. Gunalan, an
independent, and Jayaram of the Delhi-based Gareeb Aadmi Party are
waiting for the
Election Commission to allot symbols to them...Gunalan said his
decision to contest the assembly polls is a result of his interest in
working for the downtrodden
and the physically challenged. “No political leader is bothered about
the poor. I have first-hand experience of poverty. I also know how
difficult it is
to live with a disability in the face of too many odds. If elected, I
will contribute my best for the development of the poor and the
physically challenged,”
said Gunalan. His wife works as a housekeeping staffer and his kids
study in a government school...Like Gunalan, Jayaram, a resident of
Ashoknagar, near
Kaval Byrasandra, too is driven by the desire to work for the welfare
of the poor. In 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Jayaram had polled 3,784
votes. Jayaram
works as a supervisor at a construction site. “I am a social worker
and do my best to help people around me,”he said..

Re: [AI] article in TOI 22 April 2018

[Payal Kapoor]

so interesting. i know internationally this is a topic much talked of
and taught as part of grooming regularly. i think there are some of us
who have lost our sight later, who still apply make-up when the
occasion demands.
let us begin by identifying them and start there. perhaps then we
could reach out to our salons and show them how to help us.
