Hi Pranav Lal in my mail i have never said that this platform is inaccessible to discuss this issue. what i have told is that all the organisations should put their united efforts to make such provisions available to the blind persons also. if necessary the advocates on the list should come farward to file a public interest litigation againest the railway authorities for having denied the benifits of modern technology to the visually impaired persons. before commenting please read the mails carefully. regards Dattu Agarwal
