[AI] ETickets in IndianRailways for VI
dear listers Is it possible to book train ticket online availing concession. I tried booking ETicket using the IRCTC.CO.IN but was not given the option to specify concession. If there is no such provision, don't you think it's high time that we collectively demanded extending ETicket facility to the VI and other PWDS. This will be a great help as it reduces a lot of unnecessary travel and inconvenience. This will also help many of us as some of the booking clarks are not aware of the rules and regulations GOVERNING concession to PWDs. I have faced some problems in booking tickets with concession from several railway stations in hyderabad, to be specific Lingampally, Chandaanagar and secanderabad stations. After my repeated attempts, the booking counter at lingampally, which was the closest to my location, became fairly responsible and helpful. Now that I've shifted my residence I am facing it with my new local station. looking forward to have your experiences and thoughts regards rohith To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Currently VI persons who wish to avail concession cannot book the tickets online. I believe there're lots of initiatives taken by some people but nothing seem to be worked out yet.

Re: [AI] ETickets in IndianRailways for VI
Dear Brother One can not book tickets online with concessions for VI. You have to book tickets only from the counter. As you said it will be of a great help if we are able to get our railway tickets booked online. But till date there is no facility available.

Re: [AI] ETickets in IndianRailways for VI
now it is not posible to book them online availing concession. but it is high time definetly to demand for that. as IRCTC is already offering senior citizen concession and asking to carry a proof to that extent it is not an imposible thing to offer with a rool asking to carry the concession certificate. let us hope our organizations and we collectively fight for these rights. srikanth On 4/1/09, Ch.

Re: [AI] ETickets in IndianRailways for VI
Hello learned colleagues, It is right time to demand the railway authorities to extend E ticket booking facility to physically challenged persons. We should demand them to issue an identity card with unique number which we can use for E ticket booking or to accept concision certificate or medical certificate as a proof of our disability. I hope our NGOs should respond to this burning issue and submit proposals to railway authorities. With kind regards, G.

as railways are already offering senior citizen concession by accepting their age proof in the same way they should accept concession certificate and blind certificate which should help us in booking tickets. hope our N.G.Os respond to this.

Re: [AI] ETickets in IndianRailways for VI
Yes we should fight collectively for this very good cause. I have a doubt. Can we race this demand through any legal channel? I mean if the central government wouldn’t listen to us, can we take this issue to the court? I strongly believe that, technology without right attitude is a waste. Thanks to technology that a visually challenged person is doing wonders through technology. But still we are facing so many problems because of the attitudinal barriers in the society. The present issue is just an example of this problem in our society. I hope that, we will solve this railway online reservation problem.

Re: [AI] ETickets in IndianRailways for VI
Hello chandu, That's why I proposed for multy identity cards. If soa commity consisting many doctors and other officials will issue cards. therefore we need not worry for all these things. What you have raged the thing is bitter but exceptable. The defination of handicapped should be rewritten. If the new act takes place to replace 1995 act; then we can expect something. but we should not stop our struggle until our problems solved.

I tried booking ETicket using the IRCTC.CO.IN but was not given the option to specify concession. If there is no such provision, don't you think it's high time that we collectively demanded extending ETicket facility to the VI and other PWDS. This will be a great help as it reduces a lot of unnecessary travel and inconvenience. This will also help many of us as some of the booking clarks are not aware of the rules and regulations GOVERNING concession to PWDs. I have faced some problems in booking tickets with concession from several railway stations in hyderabad, to be specific Lingampally, Chandaanagar and secanderabad stations. After my repeated attempts, the booking counter at lingampally, which was the closest to my location, became fairly responsible and helpful. Now that I've shifted my residence I am facing it with my new local station. looking forward to have your experiences and thoughts regards rohith To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

multy purpose identity cards would definetly be a good idea but we dont know how long it takes but we have to keep onn fighting till we receive a favourable response. further is there any way we can raise a feedback with railways i have searched in IRCTC but there is no such option to raise our issue.

hullo, keeping in mind the developments that have taken place in the disability sector since pwd act, we must hope to work out something in this area. but for this our learned colleagues must raise their voice in the concise and proper manner as we are doing rightly on this platform. i do request the other members of this list who have not expressed their valluable thoughts to spare their few valluable moments and come up with their ideas. as railways are already offering senior citizen concession by accepting their age proof in the same way they should accept concession certificate and blind certificate which should help us in booking tickets. hope our N.G.Os respond to this. thanks, with regards, mukesh jain.

Re: [AI] ETickets in IndianRailways for VI
What we know for certain is that there is technology to do this. I remember writing about CDH or Citizen Data Hub developed by Oracle some years ago which would allow govts to prepare one card that can let them access various govt services at one go.
