In the meeting, Executive Director of marketing was also present. In relation to the visually challenged, we raised the issues relating to Help at the stations, prohibition of non - disabled to enter the handicapped cotches, net booking, quality of public address, identification of handicapped compartment, net booking etc. with them. The chairman, as a first step asked the ED to examine the net booking. ED assured that process relating to net booking will be put in place not later than January 31, 2015. Thus, we could advocate this issue to start with. I think that this should be flashed on AI. For the time being, I am only sharing this with you by clicking on reply to the sender. Please flash this on AI in the best form. regards ramkrishna - Original Message - From: Kotian, H P hpkot...@rbi.org.in To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerningthe disabled. accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Monday, December 15, 2014 4:44 PM Subject: Re: [AI] RAILWAY EXTENDS E-TICKETING FACILITY FOR BOOKING OF RAIL TICKETS TO DIFFERENTLY - ABLED PERSONS Hi This is indeed a good beginning, however, we will have to work for the modalities to make the process of obtaining the card more easier.

Hi! They are saying that we can book the e-tickets from IRCTC but today I login to the website to check whether the reservation form has been modify accordingly or not like to enter dissability card number or something like this. But I found no modification in the same. Have they launch any other portal for concessional e-ticketing? Further, we have to take in to consideration this matter from the accessibility point also. If we have to book the ticket from IRCTC itself, then we all aware that the accessibility is very very poor. We all have to do something in this direction also.
