In a remarkable step towards inclusivity and accessibility, Honourable Mr. Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister of Railways, recently inaugurated a battery-operated cart service at Guwahati station, Assam. This initiative aims to provide enhanced convenience for Divyangjan (specially-abled) and elderly passengers, ensuring seamless transportation within the station premises.
The battery-operated cart service is a welcome addition to the existing infrastructure at Guwahati station, which already caters to a large number of passengers daily. The introduction of these carts is a testament to the government’s commitment to make public spaces more accessible and inclusive for everyone.
The service will greatly benefit Divyangjan and elderly passengers, who often face challenges in navigating through busy stations and covering long distances on foot. The battery-operated carts are designed to provide a comfortable and convenient mode of transportation, allowing passengers to effortlessly move around the station, saving both time and energy.
Equipped with modern amenities and safety features, the carts are operated by trained personnel who ensure a smooth and secure experience for passengers. The service is available round the clock, allowing passengers to access it at any time of the day.
The inauguration of the battery-operated cart service at Guwahati station marks a significant milestone in making railway travel more accessible for Divyangjan and elderly passengers. This progressive step will undoubtedly enhance the overall travel experience and ensure equal opportunities for all passengers, regardless of their physical abilities.
