Suggestions on Draft Accessibility Standards The draft is a welcome step towards inclusiveness. Disability certification should be simplified to avoid repeated visits. Sign language interpreters must be available at district hospitals. Medical personnel should be trained in disability rights and sensitivity. Dedicated sports and cultural centres for persons with disabilities must be established.

To The Prim Minister, Dear Sir, I am very much disturb by recent Supreme Court decision regarding Delhi street dogs. Because of few incidents of dog bit , why targeting whole community. More human being are killed by human than any animal.More we are learned more we are sending wrong messages. We have already created vast comfort zone for human by disturbing these animals and nature. I consider all dogs are my children.Therefore I request please arrange to let them free in their respective locality. I will be great full to you.Thank you Sir.

1. Embed Accessibility Early: Design with PERCEIVABILITY, OPERABILITY, UNDERSTANDABILITY, and ROBUSTNESS in mind. Engage actual users, including those with disabilities, in testing and validation. 2. Use Guidelines as Foundations: Apply EN 301 549 and WCAG 2.1/2.2 as baseline frameworks, but don’t rely solely on them as proof of compliance. 3. Monitor National Implementations: Stay updated with how each EU country translates EAA into law—some may have additional specifications or different enforcement approaches. 4. Strengthen Testing Regimens: Combine automated tools with manual tests and user insights to uncover real-world accessibility barriers. 5. Prepare Documentation Thoroughly: Demonstrate how your product meets accessibility outcomes, backed by data, testing evidence, and usability feedback.
