Inaccessible websites and mobile apps are equivalent to a Denial of Service attack on Indians with Disabilities. End digital discrimination. Flag any Govt / public web-enabled service at the Web Accessibility Report form https://t.co/yXd5OvpShP for advocacy and @GoI_MeitY PILs !

Perhaps PwD CAR should restrict itself to FACILITATION alone with clauses 4.1.26 - 4.1.30 shifted to general population CAR instead @DGCAIndia
@MoCA_GoI @RamMNK.
Rather than PROTECT disabled passengers, airlines are weaponising these provisions to RESTRICT rather than ENABLE. 😡

"Dear Ms. Maheshwari, we acknowledge your concern. Please DM us your booking details to get this checked."

This is how @airindia has chosen to add insult to the injury inflicted on a passenger with disability.

This is unacceptable @MoCA_GoI @DGCAIndia.

As a wheelchair user studying in Germany, I recently experienced a journey that left me stranded, exhausted, and without answers.

Clipped wings?
"1.3 This CAR lays down regulations for carriage of persons with disabilities & reduced mobility by air in order to PROTECT them against any form of DISCRIMINATION and to ensure that they receive all possible ASSISTANCE during their travel.”

A low floor bus is the ONLY mode of accessible public transport in Coimbatore for citizens with disabilities & reduced mobility.

Equity cannot be sacrificed for the sake of economy @tnstc_setc @arasubus @TamilanParthib1.

Try @pcraindia's ESMAP instead.

@fabwrite @chennaicorp @ChennaiTraffic @chennai_Highway @cmrlofficial @GMSRailway @WorldBollard Forcing wheelchair users into dangerous traffic simply because of poor enforcement against 2 wheeler pavement encroachment is a crime.

Buses will not even be able to spot a wheelchair user on the road.

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

Cute yes, but these will soon be removed as they haven't been spaced for wheelchair users.

All bollards across Chennai will need reinstallation because @chennaicorp @ChennaiTraffic @chennai_Highway @cmrlofficial @GMSRailway haven't complied with Madras High Court 2023 judgement.

[Fabiola🌻 @fabwrite]

Did you notice? Cute pencil-shaped traffic bollards have been placed outside schools in Santhome - great idea by @cctpolice & @chennaicorp #Chennai

Why a wheelchair user needs to report a full hour before other passengers is baffling, especially if intimation has happened earlier.

Selective inefficiency in air travel.

@NIEPID @Drvirendrakum13 Where is link to app please?

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

@jm_rbrts Impressive station guide showing levels.

.@AshwiniVaishnaw reminder re wheelchair ramps onboard ALL trains🔻
"We will start its use in Vande Bharat trains very soon and later, in all other trains"...
"An alert can be generated and passed on to the respective railway stations for keeping a ramp ready for such passengers"

[Surya Prakash @Telugu_Indiann]

@RailMinIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw . Sir still how long should we(disabled people) make our own arrangements to travel in Indian trains? Either it may be vande bharat trains or normal trains, when we will be Indian passenger Trains become really accessible to pwd🙏

@tarika___b @chennaicorp @sameerangs 4) consider an alternative material for underground timber pegs since they are neither fully immersed in water nor exposed to sunlight and therefore prone to earlier decay.

5) Decks - mid & ocean need separate design considering seating, vehicle crossover & railing gaps, storms

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

@tarika___b @chennaicorp @sameerangs 1) execute grid as per original architect specs, also taking into account Ipe decking layer sizes
2) Use specialised screws / connectors recommended for hard wood movement due to heat and moisture.
3) enter AMC with constructing contractor for routine maintenance & annual oiling.

@chennai_Highway @Arappor What happens if the road complained about does not fall under Highways? What is the SOP?

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

@georgeviews What is the official CM helpline whatsapp number?

[KGB @kgbias]

@aisrao @sameerangs @chennaicorp @Shelter4WwD Thanks. Hope the gym we created is being used effectively by the inmates. We need more such facilities.

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

Enforcement with style 👏🏾

Can't exhort anyone in India, because where are the bus lanes?!

How about fine collectors under Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme. Sardar Patel Road pavement riders could be similarly caught at stretches with railings.

Guerilla urbanism!

Trafikten kaçmak için yasak olmasına rağmen otobüs yoluna giren sürücüler hiç beklemedikleri bir sürprizle karşılaşıyor.

Yolun bitiş noktasında yavaşlayan otobüsten aşağıya polisler iniyor ve yola giren tüm sürücülere kaçma imkanı tanımadan teker teker trafik cezası yazıyor.
