Lifts, ramps installed

Citing the law for the differently abled, it has been ordered that all government universities must ensure lifts, ramps, wheelchairs and tactile on the campus for their convenience.

Rajkumar Makkar, commissioner for persons with disabilities

The step was taken on the recommendations of Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities Rajkumar Makkar. According to him, some specially abled students wanted easier access to university buildings so they could attend classes on upper floors.

Makkar further informed that from the new academic session, e-rickshaws will run free of cost for the differently abled in Kurukshetra University and Kurukshetra and Maharishi Dayanand University, Rohtak.

He also stated that at the Shaheed Bhagat Phool Singh Khanpur Women’s Medical College, as the physically challenged faced difficulty to reach upper floors for their treatment, orders have been issued to get a lift fixed to ease their mobility.

“Tenders have been issued and it would be ready in the next two months,” said Makkar.
