small city like mysore braille signs are fine, but what about crowded
stations like delhi all terminals in delhi are very dirty even sighted
persons find difficulty in walking on delhi stations platforms, there

wheeled suitcases even how much heavy let it be one has to keep on
shoulder and climb the steps to cross one platform to another do not
be so much happy on mysore station braille symbols this is just a
eyewash to show to media & public that how much they are concerned
about blinds.
