This is the opportunity to make *new* public places disabled friendly. If people don't demand BMC to consider this now, it will never be done. It's sad that even media fails to make a big deal out of this overlook. To me this kind of apathy against the disabled is a form of human rights vioilation. How long we will be coming up with an excuse that we don't have enough money to consider them? What astonishes me is that some of public projects are funded by the world bank and they also don't make this as a requirement while loaning money to India. 339928@desicritics.org Thu, 21 Aug 2008 02:29:21 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/07/26/022419.php#comment-339392 samir, it pains me to say that I have never seen consideration in public areas for the disabled in India. Not once. And I have a friend with a serious disability who confirms that even most hospitals don't provide adequate provisions for her. very sad. 339392@desicritics.org Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:47:24 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/07/26/022419.php#comment-339390 what about people with disability? I guess no budget for elevators. They are forgotten once again. If not Bombay, where else would we expect to consider them in India? 339390@desicritics.org Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:28:06 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/07/26/022419.php#comment-339176 Rajen, gret pics! I've been wanting to write about this myself! 339176@desicritics.org Fri, 15 Aug 2008 03:35:12 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/07/26/022419.php#comment-337673 Thanks Kim for your comments. The crowd is the same like anywhere you find in Mumbai. It is located just outside the railway station so the crowd is more during peak hours. Since Bandra skywalk is not fully covered and has railing on either side I suppose it is safe. More images of Bandra Skywalk can be viewed on my site- www.rajennair.com which perhaps can give you more idea. 337673@desicritics.org Sat, 26 Jul 2008 08:03:39 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/07/26/022419.php#comment-337668 Looks interesting. I need to try this out next time I am in town. How are the crowds? Does the skywalk also have peak times? How safe is it for single women walking on it? I guess what I'm asking is if its as safe as walking on the footpaths of Bombay or more like using the subways in low populated hours? 337668@desicritics.org Sat, 26 Jul 2008 07:26:01 EDT
