She has connecting flight to her home (Guwahati). Who’s going to pay for her loss. @TOIIndiaNews @the_hindu @IndianExpress @PMOIndia @Naveen_Odisha @AmbikaPanditTOI @ThePrintIndia @sruti_mohapatra @rahulbhatiain @armanaly

She wasn’t even informed about the situation untill flight had flown. Such behaviour & discrimination against people with disabilities is not acceptable. It’s punishable under the Section. 92 of RPwD Act 2016. @JM_Scindia @MoCA_GoI @DGCAIndia please rescue & take strict action.

@IndiGo6E this is completely unacceptable and highly discriminatory! This exclusion is punishable under the RPwD Act!

[NCPEDP @ncpedp_india]

Tanvi Shams, Asst. Professor, NLU- Odisha- a wheelchair user has been stuck at Bhubhaneshwar Airport since 4 hours. @IndiGo6E has denied her to board the flight (ATR Aircraft) because of her disability. No support/ reason from the airlines/ airport staff provided.

In a historic move, the Honourable CJI of India heard a case argued in Indian Sign Language!!!

Great to see such news pieces, but @inshorts it's equally important to use the correct terminologies while referring to the deaf community.

Deaf & mute is wrong, 'deaf' is correct.🧵
