You might be very unhappy to see such Himalayan Peak of reminders - where it was lying?

Kind attention is invited to the submissions made purely on humanitarian consideration before you under references mentioned at above. Prayer was made when I was aged 64+ & now I am aged 66+. I am afraid that besides physical constraints owing to hemiparasis disability, further deterioration will come up in respect of mental & physical condition within next 2/ 3 years which will not allow me to move anywhere on pilgrimage purpose and there by the very ultimate intention of pilgrimage at the fag end of life will be defeated.

In this context it is apprehended that due to some administrative constraints under extant rules, unless otherwise the issue is treated as special nature of issue of an extreme disabled, purely on humanitarian grounds it could not be acceded to. In case you consider that my prayer is not sufficient enough for consideration, kindly advise me so that the Government of India & others may be prayed for consideration to recommend you. Financial impact to consider such cases on purely humanitarian grounds even up to 1000 cases will incur barest legible expenditure & do not have any repercussion on principle budget made. I however personally do not feel it is necessary as railway ministry (GoI) is sufficiently good enough to take independent decision. For further consideration certain essential documents sent earlier are enclosed at attachment for your ready appreciation.. Incidentally since the e-mail ID of GM / M.Rly / Kolkata does not work properly, sending copy to GM has to be stopped. Hope you will issue necessary directives so that this disabled, Sr.Citizen couple may travel along with escort / attendant provided to them in same compartment. Disabled like me requires at least 2 escorts as I cannot do anything independently i.e. 1) absolute personal & private day to day affairs to be done by my wife only & 2) a physically sound person who can control me in every movement in a running condition as an escort, for which prayer is made.

Namaskaram

Kindly see Attachment for ready appreciation including reqd. medical certificates from Chief Medical Supdt / Railways.

EX GRATIA PAYMENTS TO GOVT. PENSIONERS ON THE EVE OF PRIME RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS FOR ALL COMMUNITIES // REFUSAL BY DEPARTMENT OF PPW QUOTING O.M.

To

The Respected addressee,

[i.e. PM, Cabinet Secretary, Sri. Lal Sanglur, Director, Aged Department, Social Justice & Empowerment, Government of India. etc.]

Kindly peruse a request made to the union government of India to consider payment of an ex-gratia payment to the central government pensioners on the eve of principal religious festivals like Id, Durga Puja, X’Mass, Pongal etc considering the acute financial hardship and to join religious customary purpose. Request letters dated 16.10.2010 and 22.06.2011 placed below for ready reference which may kindly be seen for ready appreciation.

Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare vide departmental Portal notification dated 18.10.2011 have deadly turned down the request made by me followed by others quoting a departmental O.M. issued in 1998 / 08. Kindly see the refusal of the Department of PPW reproduced at the bottom of this letter for kind perusal.

Incidentally it is once again mentioned that identical ex-gratia to pensioners are allowed in some states duly obtaining approval of the state cabinet of the ministry. Unfortunately it appears that in the instant case no such move was made instead relied on earlier dated O.M to turn down. We would at least happy to find that the proposal is refused / accepted by an appropriate highest level of the government instrument like central cabinet.

Under the circumstance it is once placed before the highest authority of the central cabinet to reconsider the issue and issue suitable directive considering each and every factual positions brought out. Namaskaram,

Hope you have gone through the merit of the prayer made and processed for further necessary actions. Since prime religious festival season of the country is approaching very fast & the aged, particularly disabled pensioners started counting down their “days of financial worry ness during incoming religious festivals” the prayer is being brought back on the table. Hope the Government will realize the painful situation and take suitable action to provide some relief. Incidentally it is to mention that the system in question has been introduced at some state government of the country. This is not a grievance, simply a prayer for consideration by Government Thanking you in anticipation. Submitted please.

PENSIONERS ON THE EVE OF PRIME RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS FOR ALL COMMUNITIES- Market price of all essential commodities has gone through the roofs and as a result there of it has become very difficult to handle additional financial burden in maintaining obligatory requirements connected with religious activity during principal occasions like Id, Durga Puja, Pongal, Christmas Days etc. In most of the cases old aged pensioners are not able to get any assistance from others in these hard days. Extreme critical financial constraints to these aged pensioners during the religious occasions may be appreciated by all. Considering the financial distress of the aged pensioners during religious festivals some of the state government do allow payment of an ex gratia to their pensioners along payment of bonus to their employees. This system adopted by some state government proved to be very much helpful to aged pensioners. Unfortunately the system is not made available for central government pensioners. Considering the price hike of the day even salary of the MPs (i.e. Desh Sevaks) had to be increased considerably and as such old aged pensioners may urge government to consider payment of at least 1,500/ as an ex gratia to pensioners while declaring bonus to their employees so that these poor ex- government servants get some relief at the fag end of their life. Union Government of India is requested to consider the issue with sympathy.

Sub: MORE SUGGESTIONS - USEFUL TO AGED & DISABLED PERSONS in railways (India)

It is observed that Indian Railways have very recently arranged betterment of train coaches to facilitate passengers comfort during journeys. Much attention is given for upkeep ness by cleaning of the coaches. Railway may consider to add and rearrange the under noted provisions made in compartments for betterment as well as easement to elderly and disabled persons. Incidentally it is felt that the proposal will involve barest minimum additional cost to Railways.

1). Presently one western type of commode system lavatory is provided in each reserved compartment with sufficient toilet papers. Most of the passengers do not use toilet papers as the system is not prevailing and popular in this country. More over sufficient papers supplied, vanishes quickly for reasons known to every body and as such no useful purpose is served. Since water tabs are provided in compartments for washing facility, Railway may like to consider providing Jet spray system fixed at each commodes so that every body (including aged & disabled person) are benefited. Jet Spray system at commode system has become very popular now a day by common people as the system is very advantageous / useful to aged and disabled person.

2). Although there exist instructions from Railway authority that effort will be made for providing lower berths to passengers aged above 55 / 60 years, but in various cases it is observed that aged passengers had to travel by upper berths under compelled circumstance. Unfortunately the ladders / steps provided in coaches to climb upper berths are not friendly to general passengers including aged persons and this also disturb lower berth holders by upper berth passenger during use at night journeys. Under the circumstance it is urged that Railways will reexamine the issue in view of constraints explained and consider providing ladder friendly to passengers in general to climb / get down upper berths.

3). Suggestions made earlier for improvement of passenger amenities etc by Railways are reproduced for consideration and implementation.

a). Some 20-25 years back we used see a white line mark of 1Mtr along the both side edge of a road for slow speed pedestrians and vehicles where foot paths are not available. On a high speed busy traffic road this white demarcated area was considered as a safe area for very sickly and disabled persons. Reintroduction of this system will definitely be very useful to PWDs as well as others sickly personal at various railway premises.

b). At different major railway stations it is always very difficult to move, proceed further to board in a train by sickly, old aged and Person With Disability. At times even persons having full sympathy towards PWD and old aged persons failed to help due to rush for trains. Situations become very grave at stations like Sealdah, Chhannai, Howrah , Mumbai and Delhi where hundreds of local passengers used to travel daily. Railway administration may like to consider marking a passage width of 2Mtrs from main entrance up to each platform with white or any international accepted color so that PWDs and other week persons may avail conveniently. This demarcated area for PWDs and like others will however equally availed of by all passengers but will allow easy passage to PWDs and like other disables. Time to time announcement will serve as a consciousness of the general public. Simply demarcation as proposed will be of immense help to PWDs.

c). Similar action is proposed to be introduced by Metro Railways of the country. As a large number of office commuters had to catch trains according to their own schedule, they had to run violating every thing but a clear and visible 'Demarcation' and there by resultant general consciousness will definitely demand allowing PWDs and others allowing passage way. Demarcation as proposed if implemented will be very much helpful to PWDs, sickly and old aged persons.

d). It is seen that hand railings are not provided at star case of different old office / railway stations / commercial buildings for going to upper floors / pathway. As it becomes very difficult for sickly, PWDs and Old Aged persons to move in an easier manner it is necessary to provide hand railing facility to all such areas where hand railing facility do not exist. A proper guide line in this regard needed be issued by the appropriate authority of Government of India. A common scenario may be seen everywhere at different railway stations, especially at metro stations that space available along the hand rails are occupied by young boys and girls for reasons not connected with traveling purpose. The said occupation of space tantamount to create inconvenience to other commuters including PWD, sickly and old aged disables. Proper announcement in this regard and time to time clearance by departmentally engaged unit may be helpful to arrest the unwanted problems.

Incidentally it is to mention that in the year 2004 I have requested Sri. A. Gupta , Chief Engineer, M.Rly./ Kolkata to provide hand railings to all star cases for convenience of PWD commuters which was accepted by him and had issued necessary instructions on spot.

e). Being a PWD while traveling in AC coach it has been experienced at the time of detraining at major stations like Delhi , Chennai, Howrah , Hardware etc. that huge numbers of collies enters into compartments and jamming the entire passage in hunt of customers. In most cases numbers of collies entered in the compartment are 2 / 3 times greater than that of number of passengers boarded in compartment. As a result most of the collies do not get customers for them and thereby being dissatisfied / aggrieved starts either forcing or starts arguing with the remaining slow moving sickly, old aged, PWD and female passengers taking advantage of very few passengers remaining in the compartment and inside compartment not visible from outside because of AC glass sealed coach. During my last visit to South India while detraining at Chennai Egmore station we had not engaged any collie in a similar situation as were having only some hand bags with us. Some collies started arguing in local language and behaved in ugly manner with my daughter which I had to protest. As I am a physically challenged PWD they did not touch me but followed up to main road abusing me in local language. Some local people having sympathy for us wanted to know the issue. Since I cannot talk to them I wanted to express my trouble to them with local language interpreter, Tamilian friend from Kolkata over my Mobile phone. But alas, my mobile phone and money bag pick pocketed at compartment while I was being pushed out by said collies. Definitely no body will appreciate such situation to happen in future. Railway administration may like to restrict entrance of collies in all AC compartments where inside is not visible from out side and ensure restriction is implemented properly to avoid unwanted situations in future. Only one collie may be allowed to enter on demand by a particular passenger.

f). Traffic control system for a city have been introduced considering easy movement, safety and hazard less utilization of both by vehicles and pedestrians. There is no doubt that the best system available has been introduced for traffic control. PWDs specially persons who can move a few yards with the help of an escort finds it difficult to attend to an office situated at a spot where either a vehicle is prohibited or entering / getting down not allowed. In certain areas garaging of a vehicle not allowed. Had to get down from vehicles far away from Howrah station main or nearby any approachable gate and had to walk through running vehicles / large number of commuters running to catch their local trains. The problems of PWDs who cannot move freely were discussed with different traffic controller, traffic experts of the city who opined as follows:- Authority controlling traffic may like to consider as a special case for PWDs holding Handicapped Certificate issued by Government authority for more than 50%Disablity with them allowing to enter with vehicles to a restricted area for traffic(Other than Prohibited Areas) and by earmarking a suitable gate at Howrah etc stations for entrance of vehicles carrying PWDs having H.C over 50% Disability. Traffic controlling management may like to review the situation keeping in view the difficulties faced by PWDs to solve problems and betterment.

Any suggestions for further betterment of Railways & beneficial to railway commuters are invited.

TELEPHONE REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF INDIA regulates all type of irregular activities done by authorities dealing with Telephone and internet etc matters and as such the matter brought needed be brought to the knowledge of TRAI. Similarly Ministry of Telecommunication, Govt. of India should be intimated for necessary actions. It appears that Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited authority is reluctant to solve the problems being created to a Sr.Citizen, Paralyzed Disabled cannot move out side to out side for attending any office. It is hoped that TRAI & DOT will ensure justice to aged victim. Thanking you all.

CITIZEN, DISABLED UNABLE TO MOVE] To, Chairman cum Mg.Director, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited New Delhi. Priyo Mahodaya, Sub: A case of Sr.Citizen, Disabled unable to move- lying with BSNL Ref: My e-mails dated 1) 17-11-2010, 2) 02-01-2011, 3) 02-02-2011, 4) 09-02-2011, 5) 16-02-2011, 6) 26-02-2011, 7) 26-02-2011, 8) 17-03-11, 9) 04-04-2011, 10) 11-04-2011, 11) 25-04-2011, 12) 25-04-2011, 13) 02-05-2011, (14) 11.05.2011, & GM/BB’S mail dated. 23-03-2011 , Reminder dated. 14.06.2011, 27.06.2011, 11.07.2011, 25.07.2011, 08.08.2011 Kindly refer to my letters quoted above. It is to point out that each every time CAO / BSNL / ALIPORE have put this Sr.Citizen, Paralyzed Disabled can’t move out side for whatsoever purpose, in trouble and rectify every items point out to the knowledge to higher administrative of BSNL. You may kindly see from the bill statement placed at Attachment as well as from other correspondences made available at Attachment that in earlier occasion under instruction from your office CGM/Kolkata Telephones cleared up almost all the irregular, erroneous elements done by CAO / BSNL / Alipore and allowed some facilities to this Sr.Citizen, Disabled. Documents made available to you presently will speak for itself. Bill amount to be paid as per fixed charges was also made by CGM’s office and this can be seen that an amount of fixed charges of Rs, 662/- was being paid as per department’s bill from 07.01.2010 up to 07.02.2011. All on a sudden CAO started deducting late bill charges most unnecessarily. When countered they had refunded and started billing an extra amount of Rs.120/ towards fixed telephone charges. Broad Band holders get free telephone with out fixed charges from 01-04-2009 but CAO REINTRODUCED CHARGING ME STATING THAT I OPTED FIXED CHARGES FROM 04-07-2007. When I had to opt that time separate rules were there. However the matter were taken into consideration by CGM and accordingly bills made excluding fixed telephone charges. To put this disabled in trouble time and again CAO creates trouble and had to refund the amount deducted erroneously but do not repay the ST deducted. Under the circumstance you are requested to do needful and refund the fixed charges for telephone and oblige. It is however needs be placed on record that CAO / BSNL / Alipore used to create troubles in differently each and every time intentionally to harass a Sr. Citizen, Paralyzed Disabled cannot move out side for any purpose although CGM have sympathy for me.
