country's first braille-embedded train, Varanasi-Mysuru Express, arrived at Cantonment railway station on Thursday morning. However, no visually-impaired passenger alighted at the Cantt railway station.
"Everyone who boarded the AC coach of the train from Mysuru were the regular passengers and no differently-abled or visually-impaired people were spotted," said an attendant, Ramakrishna. Similar views were echoed by his fellow attendant, Vijay Kurahatti.
"We did not find any visually-impaired person here in the train. But, we are expecting them as this is now one of the most convenient means of transport for them," shared Kurahatti.
He further said that with the introduction of blind-friendly train, visually impaired passengers would no longer have to depend on others and would easily be able to travel alone without assistance from others.
"Now, the visually impaired people traveling alone would easily be able to locate their seats, find their way to the loo and also be quick to find their way out in case of emergencies," shared Pandey.
