A long overdue step.
Don't know why it had to be judiciary doing it.
Hope now at least, TCs would stop harassing us blind passengers about
without escort tickets.
The hearing impaired are still given only 50% concession.

BHOPAL: Now orthopaedically handicapped, paraplegic and specially abled
passengers will be able to go for rail travel alone, without an attendant.
They will also be given tickets on concessional rates which are currently
provided only when they have an attendant with them. A notification was
issued
in this regard by the railway board on Wednesday following an order of the
high court of Madras.

In one of its orders, the court said, "The disabled persons who are not
accompanied by any attendant should not be denied concession." The orders
will
be implemented from June 15 throughout the country, said a senior official
from Bhopal division.
Currently, as per IRCA coaching tariff No. 26 part I (Volume II) 25 and 29,
concession in passenger fare is permissible for orthopaedically
handicapped,
paraplegic and specially abled who cannot travel without an attendant. They
are given 75 per cent concession in tickets for second class, sleeper,
first
class, AC and chair car, while the concession is 50 per cent in AC 2 tier
and AC first class on producing adequate certificates. 50 per cent
concession
is inj the form of seasonal discount on ticket for them.
Adding to the facilities in railways for disabled passengers, tickets issued
through computerised passenger reservation system, one lower berth should
be allotted to the handicapped person and the person accompanying him/her
person should be allotted middle or upper berths, nearby, as available.
After departure of the train, if there are vacant lower berths available in
the train, and if any physically handicapped person has booked ticket under
handicapped concessional ticket system, he/she should be allotted the lower
birth as per the requirement.
