The differently Abled are alloted a special handicap and cancer patients compartment for people with disabilities or cancer. This compartment is also used by Pregnant ladies and travellers who are injured.

Owing to the fact that most of these differently able people find it extremely difficult to board or stand in a moving train for long hours especially a crowded one an additional section should be added to the current half a coach that is made available both on Western and Central Railways.
Since the decesion of having limited number of seats for Differently Able individuals was taken a decade ago, our population has grown and so have the people within this section of society.

Differently abled individuals form an extremely important part of our community, they have emerged as winners battling the difficulties posed against them. Like all of us they too have physical limitations.

A society that understands its Moral and Fiduciary duties is the one that progresses.

It is a fact that the nation will only grow if growth is inclusive of all sections of society. Hence I urge all fellow citizens, netizens to sign and support this petition.

As we speak about reservations for various sections of society, what use would these reservations be if we in all our humanity intact we do not value life of another individual with disabilities.

The number of Train accidents of people with disabilities have only risen from 10 years ago. By signing this petition we file a plea with Western Railways and Central Railways to provide additional space to our differently abled friends so they have a safer journey and accident rates while boarding, deboarding, Miscarriages of women while travelling, Cancer Patient care can be better achieved.

These are our people, let's make a change to their lives.
