Toilet and medical facilities should be ensured in public transport stations.
Similarly, the facilities inside the train coaches should be made accessible to the differently abled.
All India helpline number is required. If assistance is required during the journey, it can be called.
Station attendants for the differently abled should be appointed. Local people should be given the opportunity to work part-time or full-time

Station attendants can deal with the differently abled even if no one comes to help.It will also help those who are physically disabled and suffering from rare diseases, including cancer, to use facilities for the disabled.Facilities for the differently-abled should be provided free of cost in public transport stations. The Central Government should provide special incentives to the State Governments and the concerned departments for this.

The architectural design of the stations should be uniform across major railway stations across India.In particular, the height of the platforms should be uniform across India.If facilities are provided for the differently-abled, they should be accessible across India.Not only the differently-abled but also the elderly are affected by differences in platform heights.
Whether it is the height of the trains or the height of the platforms, it should be the same across the country.

Toilets for the differently-abled on the platforms should be made accessible.

Battery-powered vehicles should be provided at all railway station platforms to transport the differently-abled.

This should also apply to bus stands. The platform height of the state capital bus stand and the platform height of the smaller bus stands in the state should be the same.

Special arrangements should be made in public transport systems for all those identified by the government as disabled.

All buses and train coaches to be manufactured from now on should be equipped with special facilities for the use of disabled people.

Seating facilities should be ensured for the people accompanying the disabled.

Special seating facilities should be created for the caregivers of the disabled.

When the coaches stop at railway stations, signal lights should be displayed on the platforms indicating the path and seating area for the disabled.Facilities should be made for people suffering from rare diseases and going for treatment and their helpers.

We can design special compartments but that will be isolating. Therefore, facilities should be made for the differently-abled to travel in all compartments.

if think that , illigal encroachment places if vacant
there will no issue of places or property
for good cause use especially- disable
even if remove illigal migrants from railway areas
so help to give Demo area - help to transportation
& nearby areas if allot them if they do service job
help in - traveling
- cause if they live nearby area where they work may help or suitable so many other things
& in modern age - huge facilities are available
-*Availability gives Facility
for - Disable people
(not for normal people - much availability kills ability)
- or those who are interesting Nature reserch work
they can be shifted near by area of temple
where they will do work + care taker also help them
- few things depend on criteria of work lifestyle..

वैसे तो सरकार समय-समय पर दिशानिर्देश नियम सुविधाजनक प्रयास करती रहती है
पर कभी कभी कुछ चिजे जमीनी हकीकत बनते दूर होती है
तबतक न जाने कितने लोग असुविधापूर्ण जिवन गुजारना पडता है
सबसे main point है
- Time
disable persons को time ज्यादा लगता है as compair to normal people's life
4example- कही जाना हो तो तय समय से बहोत पुर्व ही वहा पोहचना फीर जैसे transport की भी तय सीमा होती है
उदाहरण तौर पे - railway
और especially emergency time also should in consideration
- तो arewise data collect & select in digital format
so may help - कहा किस जगह किन किन को ज्यादा जरूरत है
+ किस प्रकार की help की ज्यादा जरूरत है
-ऐ सब शहर मे available हो जाता है but think of
Village ,remote areas ,or even tribal areas ..
