back and forth without turning.
It would be wise to position it almost in middle and interconnecting it
with rest of the train.
Surprisingly, demands and strategies discussed at Chennai do not
mentionethe mess created by railways by converting four berths of
handicapped coach into HP quota and making the coach
reserved-cum-general...

Subject: Re: [AI] Demands & Strategies put forth at the
NationalConsultation on Issues related to Railways
Respected Sir,
Would like to say following:
1. Uniformity in concession format.
Many a times I myself have faced the problem of difference in concession
format, say if you make concession in Rajasthan, they generally do not
put
round seal. Further, their language is Hindi.
Specifically I face problem on chennai station. They never hear.
Everytime
I have to contact supervisor.
2. Since we are demanding online concession, they may raise the problem
that many a times concessions are not maid in propper format, or
sometimes
some information is missing from the concession certificate.
There are various options to deal with such problem, the one which is
coming in my mind right now is to register your concession certificate
once
and then they can keep that number in their database. So when it is
verified
by railway, no problems in using online booking. Such thing can be
enshrined
in the concession certificate form itself.
3. this point has to do with implimentation, at every station we hear
the
coatch position. But I have never heard that where handicap coatch is
coming. So announcers must announce the same.
And there should be fixed place for handicap coatch because sometimes
they
keep it in front and sometimes in back side.
4. couple of times I have seen railways authorities misusing handicap
coatch. and when we tell them anything, they talk like railway is of
their
fourfathers.
So for various problems, need to have grievence redressal body.
Regards
Amar Jain.

Dear Vasisht sir,
> 5. Provide concession to the disabled person without an escort
I availed this facility several times. But yes, I have heard of
incidents where some of us were deprived of the same. So, I think
this is concerned more with the implementation than the legislation.
