Members of Disability Rights Alliance (DRA) have received a thumbs-up from the Greater Chennai Corporation for the access audit they carried out at the Marina and Elliot’s beach.
The results of the access audit, completed last month, were submitted to Corporation officials who have asked DRA to submit a plan for the implementation of the project.
“We are currently working with the architect, who is helping us identify the material to be used to design the pathway. The composite plan will also include construction of a mobile toilet,” said Shankar of DRA.
According to DRA, the challenge is to continue pursuing the issue with the officials so that the pedestrian pathway is ready by December 3, which is World Disability Day.
Last year, on December 3 Chennai Corporation created a temporary pathway on the Marina Beach.
