Wow. It is a dream suggestion for me. I will take it further and ensure it is implemented in India too.When in Hongkonk on tour I found sr. citizen and handicapped wheeled around in most tourist places be it garden or other sight seeing but in India we dont find same. They have to live a secluded life. I dont know how one can enjoy without their other incapaciteted members around.If not always then atleast occassionally.
Thanks and Regards,

If you review by Web Search Handicap Access you will get information on this issue, federal law, state law, cases, how applied, construction regulations, public access am also forwarding a source in India with information. along with the E mail of Dr. Pastakia in Washington D.C.
India has Rent Control in cities similiar to California and some cities based on home rule. Hence you are facing these problems.
I built a hotel and by law I needed entrance that a person could enter on a wheel chair, a percent of romms for handicap bathroom and shower facilities,handicap alarm, and an elevator for the second floor. That is the law..and we follow it.
All Federal, State, Public Buildings, Polcie Stations, Municipal houses, court houses, stadiums, universities, schools, railroad stations, airports, hotels, public places ,any public place must be built or modified to provide this access. Japan has taken this further and its entire public transport rail lines are geared to handicap access to the blind.
Taxi cabs ,school buses, transport sytem can even handle this. Scholl buses with lifts to take handicap children to school so they become independent.
We had a visitor from India and he put her up at the local Hindu Temple as it had hnadicap access. All temples must have it. She stayed there and even found a partner in the U.S. and have returned as a married couple back to serve India.

Two of the finest doctors I have worked with and administer health programs at major hospitals had polio and come and work like regular people.
Alexander School in Colaba is geared for handicap access.

This is a very pertinent topic to help the Handicapped in India.
I have discussed it with Dr Bhushan Punani at the Blind Peoples Association in
Vastrapur, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India and reviewed the laws.
Do give me a call and we can explore further.
Best,
Behram

Senior issue and issue of handicap people in India.
In the U.S. all public places MUST HAVE ( mandatory)have handicap access whereas in India all public places may have VOLUNTARY. This law needs to be changed in India.
American entities even overseas are bound by this law..i.e. embassy, majority owned corporations, etc.
Besides wheel chairs India needs to make its nation available for Handicap Access.
I hope your seniors citizens group will petition the government and the UN for a Universal Law,Also make Mumbai Handicap Access to increase tourist trade.
If India wants to shine it needs handicap access.
