Dear Friends,
This has already been taken up with the Chairman of Railway Board and he has
expressed some reservations. We have requested him to pilot this for a few
selected circles and he is looking into it. This was done by XRCVC Through
our joint (Sightsavers-XRCVC) project.

I believe that a petition on accesibility was already made to the
railway authorities and it included e-ticket booking also. Perhaps
it's the time to write a separate petition Since the next election is
about two years from now, we can use this as a card for our benifit.

booking of e-ticketing.
All,
I have gone through railway budget complete text, which is available on
internet in PDF.
Following things to be noted down:
1. Concessions in Rajdhani and Shatabdi are proposed for physically
handicapped persons. nothing more than this is saidout in the speech.
2. The word accessibility for physically handicapped is used twice in the
budget, so that gives us a sense that they understand what accessibility
means. While developing adarsh stations, this will be taken care off.
3. E-ticketing will be launched on the portal of cris, full form is
central
railway information commission something....
I believe since this is going to happen, we must put efforts so to insure
that concessional booking is allowed for us. Previously IRCTC had a
ground
that concessional bookings are allowed by cris only.
To my understanding it is the efforts of Accessindia which has led to the
minister understanding about accessibility for physically challenged, and
the concessions for Raj and Shatabdi. 100% goes to AI for making them
understand accessibility.
I feel steps should be taken for putting forward our demand of
concessional
booking through this portal.
Hope to have healthy discussion on this.
Regards
Amar Jain.
