New Delhi: Delhi High Court on Wednesday  asked the Railways to provide free  human assistance to visually-impaired persons at  major stations.
A bench headed by Acting Chief Justice  Manmohan, which was hearing a petition initiated by the high  court on its own for making rail travel disabled friendly,  asked the Railways to consider providing the facility on its  own or through a CSR initiative.

Senior advocate SK Rungta, who was appearing as amicus amicus curiae to assist the court, said that Railways has provided wheelchairs at stations but refused to provide free of charge escort to the visually impaired.

The court listed the case for further hearing on March 20 and asked the  Railways to file an additional affidavit
