Hi I do agree. Let us appreciate the steps taken and work with the authorities to make accessibility more better. I find now there is barrier coming from our side and we want to oppose every initiative. Accessibility done in the coach is a one time measure make use of it or leave it no big deal about it. I do recall, in the same post, there was mention of navigational maps were made on Mysore station. Therefore, Braille is not the only solution thought about. Apps based solution works on a totally different plane, even if it is done, our brilliant armchair activists will come out saying we are a poor country and most cannot own a mobile phone.
I think we deserve stale mind attitude of the previous government, no work, no complaints.

Subject: Re: [AI] India's 1st Blind-friendly Train Runs Between Mysuru, Varanasi Hello friends, I think none of us should comment on the efforts taken by the govt without experiencing the same. We have all the rights to criticize or appreciate the train if we have firsthand experience of travelling inn that. We should also understand 1 fact that to please all the section of the society is just not possible for any govt. The positive thing I see is that at least and at last govt bodies has started to understand and recognize the importance of disabled sections of the society even though they are not a large and united vote bank. If we confront with govt on every step they take, then I think it may hamper entire process. So rather confronting with the authorities we should follow the path of consensus. I think we should take this as a first step and not the end of process.
