Stadiums in every dist to have Divyang Sports Corner :Khattar Chandigarh, Dec 3 (UNI) Giving a gift to the Divyangjans on International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has announced to set up a Divyang Sports Corner in one stadium in every district. Along with this, he also announced to construct a new building of Government Blind School, Panipat and to provide Braille printers to blind officers. The Chief Minister stated this while laying the foundation stone of Divyang Care Home in Ambala through video conferencing on Friday. He also launched the website of the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment and portal to apply online for Divyang Award specially developed for Persons with Disabilities. Mr Khattar said Persons with Disabilities are also blessed with one or the other special qualities and talent. The example of this was highlighted when sportspersons with Disabilities won medals in Paralympic Games. Despite being visually impaired, Surdas was called a great poet. Similarly, Louis Braille, despite being blind, created the Braille script, Helen Keller left an indelible mark even when she was deaf and blind, he said. He said that for the care of the mentally challenged, a Divyang Care Home would be constructed in Ambala on five acres of land at a cost of Rs 31.71 crore. In this home, adequate arrangement for clothes, food and proper care for 100 Persons with Disabilities would be ensured. He said there are about 50 lakh mentally disabled people in the country, Haryana government is making efforts to provide facilities to maximum number of such people. The Chief Minister said now Persons with Disabilities can register their complaints with the State Commissioner for Disabilities Portal. Along with tracking of complaint on the portal itself, they can get information about act, schemes of department, and case list. He also launched the Award Portal for Persons with Disabilities. On this portal, they can directly apply online for different categories of award. This will also give them a lot of convenience, they will not have to make visits to the department. He said Braille printers would be given to the blind officers of Category-I and II. Mr Khattar said the government is working on a large scale for Persons with Disabilities, for this, NGOs and other social organizations should also come forward, so that the self-confidence in the handicapped can be instilled and they can move forward. He also held a meeting of the officers of the Social Justice and Empowerment Department and inquired about the different facilities and pensions being given to the differently-abled. http://www.uniindia.com/news/north/development-haryana-divyang-cm/2582300.html -- Disclaimer: 1.

[AI] No lift-off for BEST’s wheelchair-friendly buses one year on
12/3/21, 3:58 PM No lift-off for BEST’s wheelchair-friendly buses one year on - The Times Of India - Mumbai, 12/3/2021 https://epaper.timesgroup.com/olive/odn/timesofindia/printarticle.aspx?doc=TOIM%2F2021%2F12%2F03=ar00609=20211203005152=2… 1/2 INTERNATIONAL DAY OF DISABLED PERSONS No lift-off for BEST’s wheelchair-friendly buses one year on Nitasha Natu & Somit Sen Mumbai: Are BEST’s wheelchair-accessible buses really ‘friendly’ for differently abled individuals? Can they alight and exit buses with ease? On the eve of International Day of Disabled Persons, which falls on December 3, a city activist set out to find out exactly this with a test drive on one such bus in the western suburbs. Jasmina Khanna (49), who lives with cerebral palsy, found that merely having a wheelchair lift on a bus does not help unless the staff is trained to operate it and the bus stop is also universally accessible. Armed with findings of her ‘audit,’ she plans to meet BEST’s general manager, hoping to bring about change. About a year ago, the undertaking had introduced 26 air-conditioned electric buses with a hydraulic lift for differently abled passengers. BEST has since increased its fleet to 100 and has future plans to expand to 340. “Before the Covid-19 outbreak, I had to hire a special cab that could accommodate my wheelchair to commute the 8 km from home to office every day. It used to be very expensive,” said Khanna, a software tester by profession. “Now that offices have reopened, I decided to check if the accessible buses run by BEST are true to their name,” she said. On Thursday afternoon, Khanna and her physiotherapist, Sanket Khadilkar, reached Goregaon bus depot for a short commute up to Andheri. The first challenge before them was an inaccessible bus stop outside the depot. Khanna waited on the road as the bus stop had a short concrete barrier on all sides with no opening for wheelchair access. There was no signage on the bus stop to indicate that accessible buses stopped there. A couple of crowded buses simply passed by. At least two buses that halted had nonfunctional wheelchair ramps. The driver of the third bus agreed to lower the ramp. He tried unsuccessfully for 10 minutes till a bystander intervened and explained how it was done. Once inside the bus, the safety clasps that keep a wheelchair in place couldn’t be fastened. “I had to hold on to Khanna’s wheelchair the entire time to prevent it from sliding off,” said Khadilkar, adding that not more than one wheelchair can be accommodated at a time on these buses. Signage was missing inside the bus, as were announcements about the next halt. At the Andheri depot, where the journey terminated, it took another five minutes to open and shut the hydraulic lift. “In case the lift hadn’t functioned in the automatic mode, the driver did not know how to use the manual mode either. We found the driver to be patient and willing to learn, but there is a lack of training,” observed Khanna. A BEST panel member told TOI that it was ‘embarrassing’ for the undertaking if its staff was unable to operate the wheelchair lifts. 12/3/21, 3:58 PM No lift-off for BEST’s wheelchair-friendly buses one year on - The Times Of India - Mumbai, 12/3/2021 https://epaper.timesgroup.com/olive/odn/timesofindia/printarticle.aspx?doc=TOIM%2F2021%2F12%2F03=ar00609=20211203005152=2… 2/2 It may be recalled that in 2004, the Bombay high court had pointed out the lack of disabled friendly public transport systems in the city. After the court order, BEST introduced five ultra-low-floor buses in 2005. But they faced frequent breakdowns and were prone to flooding during monsoons. The BEST committee subsequently cancelled further purchase of low-floor buses in 2016.
