I highlighted these by multiple tweets to both handles of Railway Minister. This was carried by Times of India as well as Sandhya Times despite all these my upper and middle berth was not changed. We have heard many stories of provision of hot milk during journey by a single tweet etc and it seems all of these were fake stories to generate PR. Here is the reality.
People only have mobility impairments; it’s the #InsensitiveRailways which makes us ‘DISABLED’. @PiyushGoyal @PiyushGoyalOffc @drmdelhi @RailMinIndia @MSJE_AIC @narendramodi @TCGEHLOT @socialpwds @OOccpd pic.twitter.com/rmXczFhFY6— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
Booked tkt under disability quota still provided upper berth. #PiyushGoyal has 2 verified handles but despite multiple tweets, 2days, media report, no1 helped & had to climb to upper berth- https://t.co/VgilvG5A4p via @timesofindia— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
None of the 6 Railway stations in the capital of India are disabled-friendly. NDLS, DLI (New Delhi & Old) despite being A1 category DOESNOT have a single lift connecting platforms for elderly & disabled. #InsensitiveRailways— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
Surprisingly Sarsi Rohilla Rly Statn (DEE) does have lift on PF 2. Unfortunately it’s an eye-wash as the point where foot over bridge ends, does not have any lift to get down. Isn’t this selective #discrimination towards disabled? #InsensitiveRailways pic.twitter.com/kZoKxIHDE7— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
So ppl w/ #disabilities are forced to use steps again to get down. In total, I had to climb 108 steps. The cruelty continues as cold, steel hand-railings end abruptly in the middle. #InsensitiveRailways makes sure that we fell down & risk our lives. pic.twitter.com/LoVH8Uyg2A— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
Where is the PM’s #AccessibleIndiaCampaign? Who did the access audits & when? If we can’t make Capital of India accessible what about rural areas where 69.9% of disabled live? Should I take pride in bullet train or hang my head in shame? #Disability #UNCRPD #RPwDAct— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
For the same reason, I filed RTI 2 months ago to know no. of elevators & escalators in all 6 Delhi Rly Statns. CPIO didn’t reply in 1 month so had to file 1st Appeal. Escalators are NOT means of egress for disabled yet Rly Minister @PiyushGoyal keeps ordering more— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
२१ शताब्दी में क्या इतना मुश्किल है विकलांगों के अधिकारो की रक्षा करना? क्या भारत की राजधानी एक लिफ़्ट नहीं लगा सकती रेल्वे स्टेशन पर? This is me on DLI on 31 Dec 2016. #NothingDivineAboutUs #InsensitiveRailways https://t.co/3C9MY9YIK3— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
Not the 1st time I have raised these issues. #InsensitiveRailways are repeat offenders. ‘Railways Fails to Treat Persons With Disabilities With Respect and Care’ https://t.co/IaVnZvvBDg via @thewire_in— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
Quoted in this June 2017 @TheStatesmanLtd media story which highlights inaccessible railway stations in Delhi. #InsensitiveRailways pic.twitter.com/AyW0MNiWJd— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
This story on mine caught the attention of National Human Rights Commission but proceedings on & on & on.... ‘Doctor with disability harassed at station’ https://t.co/KN9FUYqs7X via @the_hindu— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
Moreover why only wheelchair users are dangerously carried over open-tracks, why not non-disabled? Surely, an escalator for nondisabled is costly than an elevator for ALL (disabled & nondisabled). #InsensitiveRailways— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
If over 2 days, multiple tweets & TOI report they can’t shift my berth from upper to lower how can I trust the stories of ‘milk provided on single tweet’. #FakePublicity by #InsensitiveRailways— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
The ramp at Concession Cell of @drmdelhi office remain disabled unfriendly. @News18CJ highlighted it. You may see between 7.50 min to 9.20 min : https://t.co/jY62S5uMjO— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
Getting the Railway Photo ID card is another hurdle for ppl w/ #disabilities https://t.co/eXWyL1S8z9 #InsensitiveRailways— Dr Satendra Singh (@drsitu) January 7, 2018
