I received a call from Ms Madhu Singhal of Mithra Jyothi, who had to

I will personally meet Shri Manoj Kumar CCPD and will lodge a written
complaint. I feel it would be better if Madhuji also
I shall certainly let you know the details and would also ask Ms Madhu
to write a complaint. The problem with airlines is that most of them
spend large sums of money advertising in the media and so, media houses
are not really able to put them to shame. In fact, they get away with

Hi
One of the areas relevant to this list is disability and discussing sexual
harrasement of blind women is quite within the ambit of this group.
This group is not restricted to accessability, and discussing about the
relevance of the topic is collective waste of time and resources.
