I had to argue for a long time with the staff to get my tickets on the next possible direct flight on a priority basis, as both Amma & I were in wheelchairs. #FlightCancel #IndiGoAirlines

I am a person with late blindness and live with a rare neurological condition - #IIH, an invisible disability that requires reasonable accommodations, such as lying down at regular intervals, and Amma has age-related mobility limitations. #IndiGoAirlines #DisabilityInclusion

Initially, I was offered connecting flights to Vizag with 10-hour layovers. After 4 hours of waiting without water, food, and lack of information, we were asked to board the flight that was departing in 5 minutes. #FlightCancel #IndiGoAirlines

It was a rush! We somehow managed to board the flight with the support of wheelchair assistants. I traveled without my luggage in that chaos. I raised another complaint with the ground staff at the Vizag airport and received my baggage more than 24 hours after reaching home.

1/ My baseline report on Disability certification, UDID and Financial Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Deoghar, Jharkhand is finally published as part of the Javed Abidi-NCPEDP Fellowship. In the study, I focussed on two-gram panchayats of Sonaraithari block.

1/1 Last week I had a brief but bitter experience at Delhi Airport when I was told to ‘stand’ for security check while being on a wheelchair.

1/2 The security officer didn’t even give me time to properly position my crutches and stand. Instead, he asked me to take his shoulder for support. It was humiliating.

1/3 When I questioned him about his disregard for the disabled and elderly, he chose to stay silent, sporting a sheepish smile.

1/5 Asking a wheelchair user or a less mobile person to stand during a security check at airports is a disgrace to their dignity and constitutes an outright offense under the law. Therefore, I urge Delhi Airport and Airports Authority of India to look into the matter seriously and diligently.
