Great @KalyanPal !

Sealdah is one of the busiest station in India, and surely we need to know the accessibility status of this station. Great initiative by you.

All the best for the day.

This is a superb choice of a place @KalyanPal since it is a crowded place and there are more chances that differently-abled people will use the railway station and more frequently.

Also, I’d suggest not to be shy and hesitate to link back the Accessibility for All to the page that tells more about it.

My best wishes for the meetup :+1:
