[LIS-Forum] Fwd: Library on Trains for Physically Challenged persons

[Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy]

How do you think this request for newspapers in special compartments
for the handicapped  in Mumbai can be provided? What may be the cost
involved? Can some Mumbaiker give the data? Will some NGO or Govt
Library take up the implementation part if funds are available?

Library on wheels for Physically Challenged

We are thankful to Indian Railway for providing seperate compartment
for handicapped in Mumbai local trains.

For earning the bread and butter, one has to spend hours in local
trains every day. This time goes unproductive and can be used
creatively. Due to physical limitations, the handicapped persons are
unable to carry news papers or good magazines in local train. So it
will be better that railways put hangers on walls of the local train
and some publishers regularly provide newspapers and magazines free of
cost.

Can you please do something in this direction.

My request is that, please consider the request and do some thing to
bring this facility in Handicapped compartment in existence for
betterment of this important section of socity.

Regards.
