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 !

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

Have the extreme weather relief shelters been access audited for disabled citizens @Tn_Diff_abled @CMOTamilnadu?

People with high support needs are left out of disaster planning and preparedness. When DIDRR?

@chennaipolice_ checked on senior citizens registered on your portal?

[ChennaiCares @ChennaiCares]

The list of @chennaicorp monsoon shelters / relief centres has been mapped on Google MyMap : https://t.co/deQMRDKo9j

Also there on Chennai Cares CRR dashboard page - sorted by ownership.

@titoraja Vinfast has low floor minibuses?

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

Fast with food only @McDonalds ?
Slo-mo on being a responsible business?

Why are you giving a wheelchair user and senior citizen such grief? It's supposed to be happy meals, remember?

[Rustom Irani @TweetsbyRusty]

It's over 48 hours now and no tangible action from your team over email. Meanwhile my senior citizen father and myself on a wheelchair are facing losses daily from your outlet's negligence. This is one example. I can share more proof if needed. Please ACT now!

Station / terminal static layout maps with basic wayfinding info and standardised icons - is that so tough to provide online, on site and via your apps @GMSRailway @cmrlofficial @aaichnairport?

Geotag gates, platforms, toilets, drinking water, FOB lifts, wheelchair route, MIHY.

How did a woman’s body lay inside Thirumayilai MRTS station for four days, while commuters continued to pass through. Vijaya’s death has renewed the question: how safe are the MRTS stations which thousands depend on everyday

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

@Srinivas_091294 Hi, could you share photos of the staircase please - we need to check the safety edge detection. Is the reflective tape actually at the step edge or is there a slight setback? Unable to make out from this pic. Thanks!

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

What IS a high floor bus doing in Chennai in contempt of Madras High Court orders @MtcChennai ?

Do lay off political party colours on public infra - next they will say model code of conduct violations!

Stick to a single livery please. Public buses should be easily identifiable.

[Vinay Aravind @vinayaravind]

One very dumb thing they did is to paint them yellow to match their party flag. Just invert the colour scheme @TVKVijayHQ it will still be your party flag colours and not be mistaken for a school bus (and also more closely match the livery of other buses in the fleet).

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

Crores poured by India into brand new metro infra, still no uniform specs.😡

Safety planning at design inception needs to incorporate ALL scenarios. For entire platform length:
a) edge contrast painting BEFORE PSD
b) contrasting, continuous tactile warning for blind AFTER PSD.

[Rajasekar @titoraja]

Today, PSDs were kept open at Vadapalani St even before the train arrived in Pf3. Yes, there were security personnel who kept urging the public to stay away, but since there is no yellow line demarcation, like Ph1 elevated stations, this can be dangerous. @cmrlofficial

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

@titoraja DMed you.

@Vasim95 @Office_of_CCPD @socialpwds ક���પા કરીને ગુજરાત SCPD નો સંપર્ક કરો, તેઓ તમને મદદ કરશે.

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

@Vasim95 @Office_of_CCPD @socialpwds Please contact Gujarat SCPD, they will help you out.

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

Please remove the flowerpots immediately @cmrlofficial - they're a hindrance to people using railings and tactile guidance path.

Also why are station layouts missing from new app? Please provide a spreadsheet of geo-coordinates of accessible entrances & toilets, station wise.

*IRDAI @irdaindia claims it has received NO grievances on insurance denial due to disability!*

If this is indeed the case thanks to the ’special’ policies for disabled introduced in 2023 by 30 insurance companies, then well and good.

*If not* , then do hurry and fill this form asap - the next AFA PIL Supreme Court hearing is in a week! : https://t.co/K8Tqdv5bc6

Experiences of *neurodivergent people* are especially important since this is an Action For Autism case.

Contact [email protected] if there are any technical issues faced with the form.

@Vincentsjotting @vjayakumar @SathishOnWheels We had recommended regular behaviour change communication awareness and agency for assistance, security, cleaning and preventive maintenance.
Need beach marshals constantly reinforcing importance of railings that we fought so hard for, given Indian context.

GCC tendered...🤷🏾

[Vaishnavi Jayakumar @vjayakumar]

Stop motion entropy at Chennai's only surviving access boardwalk for disabled beachgoers.

Yes, Marina's will rise again, but the decay of existing assets is disquieting.

The broken window theory may have been discredited, but the Besant Nagar Beach Broken Railing theory isn't!

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

Rubbish has been cleared, but maintenance of Besant Nagar beach access path continues to be abysmal @chennaicorp @sameerangs @RDCSouth_GCC .

Broken railings are encouraging miscreants to break more, in the course of a day.

Life cycle access please!

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

How much of our time is wasted in just following up repeatedly with Govt on the most basic pending matters!

Food vendor junk is cluttering the beach access path at Besant Nagar @chennaicorp .

Still no agency to ensure proper usage of the path by all - check railings @sameerangs

@arunanand03 Hope issue has been resolved once and for all?

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

As usual, planning for disabled has been abandoned in this latest biometric travesty.
