Srinagar: Travel for persons with disabilities is going to get easier at the Srinagar International Airport as the Airports Authority of India ( AAI) has recently set-up a help desk where assistance with sign language is made available for persons with communication barriers.
The separate help desk with staff trained in sign language has been provided for persons having communication barriers so that they don’t get abandoned or lost thus wasting their travel time.
It may be mentioned that this step comes in the wake of a meeting that was held on January 4 this year for formation of local committee issue related to Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). Apart from Airport officials, local NGOs and all stakeholders of the airport had taken a part in the meeting.
