It's been over three days since I've requested @mcdonaldsindia to resolve this issue caused by their outlet since over six months now. @mybmc this is a serious food storage, structural issue. @MSJEGOI a senior citizen and myself a permanent disabled individual are facing losses.

Fast with food only @McDonalds ? Slo-mo on being a responsible business? Why are you giving a wheelchair user and senior citizen such grief? It's supposed to be happy meals, remember?
It's over 48 hours now and no tangible action from your team over email. Meanwhile my senior citizen father and myself on a wheelchair are facing losses daily from your outlet's negligence. This is one example. I can share more proof if needed. Please ACT now! @mcdonaldsindia

My first show at Inox venue IFFI, accessibility poor poor poor. I'm expected to just park myself at the front of the auditorium??!? My neck and comfort be damned! Why can't accessibility at venues be audited and delivered by PWDs?! @goadisability @PrakashWKamatPK @ianuragthakur

It was a genuine honour and quite an eye opener to see the efforts for accessibility. Oversights exist but we'll only see true inclusion if all PWDs from India share their needs and use the services.

We should send Sunny Deol to get us the drug. He's got a truck too. Will get us a free handpump as well. Because @curesmaindia doesn't have superheroes and martyrs, right @Roche ?

This image clearly illustrates why accessibility and inclusivity are alien concepts in a Divyang India.

Let's call it, what it actually is, the willful acceptance of (preventable) death of bright future citizens and current achievers whose only detriment is their "treatable" disability. @PMOIndia @MSJE_AIC SMA has treatment options, give us access or continue to watch us die.

I've experienced this myself multiple times, not surprised things still remain the same in 2022. The entire medical fraternity, their institutions can easily disprove that specific disabilities have no effect on onset of major illnesses, an Insurance giant shuns it all! PATHETIC!
In April 2022, I got Covid and was hospitalised. When we claimed the insurance, the policy for the entire family was discontinued. Why? Because of my congenital disability. Here's what happened. A thread.

A box of tissues to wipe my tears. A car freshener to forget my woes. A bouquet of flowers for that new car type experience. Can't thank you enough @Nissan_India

DAY 56. FINALLY got my van, took it for a test drive with official service team. @srivastava91265 @Nissan_India @Nissan @NissanMotor I did not need a bouquet of flowers or gifts. All I ask, please let me trial for a bit before I am compelled to pay. @curesmaindia @debolinsen

DAY 54. Back home from the hospital. Call from @Nissan_India HQ asking if I received latest update? Followed by the e-mail from the service center. As for my van or an official Nissan anyone...

...no one from Nissan ready to admit it's their official partners and service folk who have made me experience one of the worst phase of my life. My Van "should" arrive tomorrow. @srivastava91265 @debolinsen @goadisability @curesmaindia @Nissan @Virali01 @sabanoorz @PMOIndia
