Visually impaired to spearhead Heritage Week car rally

Patiala, February 13

The Patiala School for the Blind, along with the Royal City Riders, as a mark of respect and goodwill will be organising a car rally during Patiala Heritage Week. 

The rally has been aimed to make the blind children feel that they are very much part of society and have equal rights like others.  Around 50 drivers will participate in the event to be held on February 25. The rally will commence from Polo Ground and the drivers will cover a distance of 64 km. 

Students from the Patiala School for the Blind will be co-pilots and will give directions through special Braille notes.  Gurbhajan Singh Gill, one of the organisers said, “This is the second time we are organising such a rally. The idea behind the event is to bring forth that the blind are equally talented as other people.” — TNS
