Madras HC Proposes Audit for Metro Accessibility

The Madras High Court has put forward a recommendation for conducting an audit of Phase 1 metro stations in Tamil Nadu. The objective is to identify and rectify any accessibility issues faced by persons with disabilities (PWD), emphasising the importance of an inclusive and barrier-free public transportation system.

This suggestion aligns with the broader goal of ensuring equal access to public facilities and transportation for all citizens. The proposed audit aims to assess the current state of accessibility in metro stations and implement necessary measures to enhance the overall experience for individuals with disabilities.

The move by the Madras High Court underscores the significance of creating an inclusive infrastructure that caters to the diverse needs of the population. As metro systems continue to expand and play a crucial role in urban mobility, addressing accessibility concerns becomes pivotal to fostering a more equitable and accommodating public transportation environment.

Residents and advocates for PWD rights are optimistic about the potential positive impact of such an audit, anticipating improvements that will make metro stations more user-friendly for everyone. The proposed initiative reflects a commitment to creating a universally accessible transportation network in Tamil Nadu.
