India's First Wheelchair Model, Virali Modi On Mobility Issues
India's first wheelchair model and founder, #MyTrainToo, Virali Modi, joined the panel discussion at the launch of the initiative Samarth by Hyundai, to highlight the lack of inclusive transportation in the railway sector for People with Disabilities (PwDs). Ms Modi said that many People with Disabilities can't afford to travel by plane or car, and have to rely on trains. "Why aren't they accessible to us and why are we subjected to such kind of scrutiny? We are not luggage or just pieces of flesh. We have our dignity and integrity," said Ms Modi.
