Disability rights activists in Chennai are raising concerns about the Greater Chennai Corporation's plan to install bollards on pavements. They argue that the current placement obstructs pedestrian access, particularly for wheelchair users, and compromises safety, deviating from the original intent of protecting pedestrians. Activists call for accessible pavement designs that ensure clear passage, noting that many roads lack proper sidewalks or have damaged, encroached-upon ones, making bollard installation problematic.
