Friends,
I am glad to meet you all through this Fortnightly newsletter.
Following is the Dialogue between two visually challenged boys
regarding their accessible train journey.
One fine day, they meet each other in platform of Avadi station.
Somu: Hi Ramu, How do you do?
Ramu: I'm Fine. So how are you? Where do you want to go now?
Somu: I want to go to central station.
Ramu: A train is coming. No one is here to tell us that this train
goes to central or beach station. How can we find out ?
(Train stands and they can hear an audio that "This train is going
to Chennai central" in Hindi, Tamil and English. Then they board the train)
Ramu: Hey, this electronic announcement is very useful to us, right?
Somu: Yes. Once we found difficult to ask the people around. Don't we?
But this audio
announces the station where the train goes, the current station and
the next station.
Ramu: We should thank the Railway department for this wonderful
accessibility which is made for us.
Somu: It is very accessible that if this is available in all trains.
Ramu: if this happen, we have difficulty in finding the compartment only.
Somu: Let's think how can be tackle to find the compartment because we
are getting scolding's from the others if we board on Ladies or First
class compartment.
Ramu: It is easy to find the compartment, if there is a Braille symbol
on the 2 sides of the handle of the step.
Somu: A few visually challenged people don't know Braille. What they will do?
and Also we can't touch it while we board train in hurry. What can we
do for that?
Ramu: Yes, you are right. Have you gone to NIVH?
Somu: No. Why are you asking this now?
Ramu: There is an audio signal sounds like 'tink tink' on the entrance
of the institution. Visually challenged persons can find the place
easily.
Somu: Oh. Is it so, Ramu?
Ramu: We have only 4 different compartments in local trains such as -
1st class, 2nd class, Ladies and Vendors - compartment.
We may even suggest giving 4 different sounds for each compartment
which may very accessible to board the right compartment.
Somu: Ok. Let's hope this accessibility comes soon. I have to get down
at the coming station.
Ramu: Okay. Bye!! See you!!
So, Hope you all might have enjoyed this conversation.
I am expecting many suggestions from your side for our accessible journey.
