NDMC to construct gym for physically challenged
Neha Attre | New Delhi
There is good news for all those physically
challenged persons who wanted to keep in shape by doing some exercise. New Delhi
Municipal Council (NDMC) is constructing a unique gymnasium at Kaka Nagar in
Central Delhi.
This first of its kind gymnasium will have specially designed equipment that
will be extremely user-friendly for the physically challenged.
"As part of the welfare plans, we have initiated efforts to construct this
unique gymnasium. Apart from being accessed by normal people, physically
challenged
persons would also be able to take advantage of the uniquely designed gym,"
said a senior New Delhi Municipal Council official.
"The building, where the gymnasium is being constructed, will be constructed
keeping the physically challenged in mind and will be made user-friendly for
them. It will also house latest equipment specially designed for physically
challenged persons," he added.
"We have already started the construction and it is scheduled to be completed
in the next six months. The civic body has granted a budget of Rs 1.25 crore
for the project," the official further said.
The civic body, after taking the advice of the experts, would install the
specially designed equipment that could be used by the normal as well as the
physically
challenged people.
"We are consulting experts who would be able to guide us to make the gym
user-friendly for the physically handicapped," the officials added.
Apart from providing the gymnasium for the physically handicapped, the building
would also have a library, computer centre and a reading room for them.
The physically challenged would have access to these too as efforts would be
made to make them accessible for them. Despite being a two-storeyed building,
lifts would be installed for the convenience of these people.
Apart from that, ramps would also be constructed to facilitate easy movement.
