Kerala Judge Advocates for Accessible Public Spaces for Visually Impaired
Kerala High Court Judge Devan Ramachandran emphasized the need for barrier-free public spaces for visually impaired individuals during White Cane Day celebrations in Kochi. He criticized the misuse of footpaths and tactile paths, urging society to respect their independence rather than offer sympathy. Recalling his experience of a blindfolded walk, he suggested motorists undergo similar exercises to understand their challenges. The event also highlighted Project Surya, which provides free training in technology and mobility skills to visually impaired people.
