Well Himanshu
Laws are, in my opinion, made by the headless, implemented by the muddle-headed
and finally interpreted and adjudicated by the high-headed individuals.
However, in railways, visually impaired are given concessional tickets even
without escort, but orthopedically disabled are not.
But, I am hearing nowadays that they have started denying without escort
concessional tickets even to blind and have made necessary changes in the
system.
Long live Mamta's mamta!!!!

Subject: Re: [AI] No concession in Durranto!!
Dear Rajesh Sir,
Six years back I lost my vision and after three years got and started
using Railways concession. Since the time and till now, never
understood that what is the logic behind denying us concession in
Trains like Rajdhani and Shatabdi. Where as, as far as I know (however
never used), there is concession obtainable in Air India's flights.
This completely shows the muddled approach of lawmakers, for setting
the standard of conveniences or concessions given to the deserted
section of society.
There is another contradiction in Railway's policy that we are not
allowed to travel without Scot, if availing concession. But we can
travel alone if we are without concession.
This new edition "Durranto" in the list, further affirms the dual
policy of legislator and concerned officials. I don't have any idea
that has this issue been ever raised in front of them or has this
discrimination been ever challenged to judiciary.
But I have a strong opinion in this favor, I would like to appreciate
your very genuine concern and appeal to them who are taking care of
our rights and representing us.
Thanks
