Summary:
A PWD official responded that most of the railings were erected to "define the gates of colleges or buildings". "Samarthyam, an organisation that works on accessibility issues, had conducted the accessibility audit of North Campus in 2015 at DU's invitation. We are also learning from the experts and if changes required, we will do the needful," assured an official. The official said, "Only railings at the bus stands have been installed to help people in wheelchairs. PWD is spending close to Rs 50 lakh on the effort though its officials admit that they don't have the expertise to make everything fully disabled-friendly..
