MUMBAI: A few Persons with Disabilities (PwD) complained that they were unable to get BEST buses as deployed by the election commission.
Also, one of the PwD voter said when he reached the polling station at Vidyavihar West he was shocked to see a kuccha road on which he had to go on his wheelchair and it was a bad ride to the polling booth although there was a ramp at the end of this stretch.
Another PwD voter said that at Bright high school and junior college in Bhandup West, there was no ramp near the main entrance and no ramp at the classroom for polling booth number 69. “There was too much rush and people gathered at one passage for multiple polling booths. I couldn’t even take my mobile out to click a picture of the chaos,” the voter said.
In Oshiwara, a physically challenged voter said that it was not a bad experience voting, but there were few issues. “I had downloaded my Aadhar card from online and taken a print out. They were not accepting it. Besides, the wooden ramp was not proper,” the voter said.
