Hello, Local Guides,
Hope everyone is fine. This is the Recap post of the meetup named #AccessibleBengal-03-ATM-Location: Birati, Kolkataheld on 28th November, 2020.
This meetup was a part of #AccessibleBengal, a WBLG initiative to update the accessibility status of West Bengal.
The objective of the meetup was to check the accessibility status (presence of wheelchair accessible ramp or smooth entrance from the road) of the ATMs at Birati, Kolkata. Following all the COVID-19 related protocols (wearing mask and maintaining physical distance), the meetup was started around 4 p.m. All the ATMs of Birati area was being covered during the meetup. The security personnel did not allow me to take photos inside the ATMs. So, the availability of audio announcements could not be checked.
Below are some images taken during the meetup, showing accessibility status-
