Swimming Mein Hi Milta Hai Woh ‘Abled’ Ka Ehsaas Bohot Saare Disabled Logon Ko. Wheelchair Mein Baithe Logon Ko Paani Mein Apne Parts Ko Hilane Ki Azaadi Mahsoos Hoti Hai, Jo Ki Unhe Zameen Par Kabhi Nahi Milti. Kai Log Hydrotherapy (Paani Mein Vyayam) Karte Hain Aur Kabhi-Kabhi Paralympic Champions Bhi Ban Jaate Hain. Magar Yeh Kaam Sabke Bas Ki Baat Nahi Hai. Chennai Mein, Jahan 1.5 Lakh Disabled Log Hain, Unke Liye Accessible Public Swimming Pools Ki Kami Hai, Sirf 2 Out Of Seven Pools GCC Aur Tamil Nadu Ke Sports Development Authority (SDAT) Maintain Karte Hain.
SDAT Ke Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium Mein Ek Ramp Pool Mein Jaata Hai. Ek Seating Lift Hoti Hai Jo Wheelchair Mein Baithe Vyakti Ko Pool Mein Niche Utaar Sakti Hai, Magar Woh Kharab Hai. Velachery Mein SDAT Ke Pool Mein Bhi Ek Seating Lift Hai, Lekin Koi Ramp Nahi Hai. ‘Ye Pool Puri Tarah Se Disabled Logon Ke Liye Accessible Nahi Hai. Toilets Mein Ramps Nahi Hain,’ Kehti Hain Madhavi Latha, 53, Ek Paralympic Swimmer. ‘Kabhi-Kabhi, Woh Wooden Ramps Bhi Lagate Hain.’ Dusre Pools Accessible Nahi Hain, Ramps Ya Seating Lifts Nahi Hain, Kehta Hai Sathish Kumar, Ek Disability Rights Alliance Member. Log Door Door Se Aate Hain In Accessible Pools Mein Swim Karne. ‘Agar Mujhe Nehru Stadium Ke Pool Mein Jaana Hai, Toh Mujhe Tambaram Se Cab Mein Rs1,000 Kharch Karna Padta Hai. Mere Parivaar Wale Mujhe Drop Karte Hain,’ Kehti Hain Geetha Kannan, 42, Ek Wheelchair-Bound Vyakti Aur Paralympic Swimmer Jinhone Gold Medal Jeeta Hai. Ek Official Ke Mutabiq, Autism Aur Dusri Disabilities Wale Bachhe SDAT Ke Pools Mein Ground Floor Par Jaate Hain Jo Ki Pool Complex Ke Entrance Par Ramps Hote Hain.
Magar In Pools Mein Se Koi Bhi Heated Nahi Hai Hydrotherapy Ke Liye. Ek Trainer Ke Mutabiq, Ek Accessible Public Pool Mein Lagbhag 20 Log Roz Pool Mein Practice Ke Liye Aate Hain. Pehle 30-40 Log Aate The. Monsoon Mein, Zyada Log Nahi Aate Kyunki Paani Thanda Ho Jata Hai.’ Kisi Bhi GCC Pools Mein Accessibility Nahi Hai. Jab TOI Ne Poocha Ki Kya GCC Pools Ko Accessible Banaya Jayega, Marina Ke Paas Pool Ka Maintenance Karne Wale Contractor Ne Kaha, ‘Hum Abhi Changes Nahi Kar Sakte.’ Madras High Court Ne Kaha Ki Sabhi Buildings Ko Harmonized Guidelines Aur India Mein Universal Accessibility Ke Standards Ko Follow Karna Chahiye, 2021 Mein. Ek GCC Official Ne Kaha, ‘Hum Jab Maintenance Tender Out Karenge Doosre Do Swimming Pools Ka, Tab Hum Accessible Infrastructure Shamil Karenge. – TOI
