This is not just about one airline. It’s about dignity. Why are #wheelchair users harassed repeatedly at airports despite clear rules? Wheelchairs are not luggage, they’re our legs.We pay full fare but are treated unfairly. Time for accountability. @MoCA_GoI @JM_Scindia @armanaly.

Once again, @airindia ignored DGCA rules! On 13 July, 5 para-athletes including me weren’t given our personal wheelchairs at the aircraft door at IGI Delhi. We were forced to shift multiple times in inaccessible chairs. #AirIndia.@MoCA_GoI @DGCAIndia @JM_Scindia @ANI @TimesNow

As an Indian para-athlete going tomorrow for an International tournament, I expected better support from a brand that claims to champion sports. This lack of accountability is unacceptable! .@Decathlon #Decathlon @Decathlon_India #PoorService #ParaAthlete

Disappointed with @Decathlon_India's service at Greater Noida! Last Sunday, I bought a lower, wore it once yesterday, and noticed it was damaged. Today, they admitted it was damaged but refused a replacement, claiming it was "used." .@Decathlon.#Decathlon #ParaSports @toisports

Para sports remain underfunded despite our athletes making India proud on global platforms.More investment is needed for grassroots development, training & sports equipment for para-athletes from State Govts. #SupportParaAthletes #Budget2025.@IndiaSports @timesofindia @Para_India

The pension for PwDs must be increased to ₹5,000/month for financial security.Also, access to car loans, home loans, & medical insurance should be easier & covered under Ayushman Bharat. True empowerment starts with financial independence!.@FinMinIndia @MoHFW_INDIA @DoPTGoI @RBI

Lakhs of #divyangjan struggle daily due to inaccessible public transport & railways,yet this budget has done nothing to address it. #Railway & buses #accessibility should have been a priority! .@AshwiniVaishnaw @RailMinIndia @rajeshaggarwal .#TransportForAll #Budget2025 @TimesNow

Women with disabilities have been completely ignored in the budget. They require better medical support, financial security, and employment opportunities. Why is there no special provision for them?.@MinistryWCD @PMOIndia @Annapurna4BJP #BudgetSession2025 #DisabilityRights @ANI

The Union #Budget2025 -26 once again fails to prioritize Divyangjan (PwDs). The total allocation for disability welfare is inadequate, and key areas like accessible transport, financial security, and employment support have been overlooked. @nsitharaman.@FinMinIndia.@socialpwds
