The Blind Navigates on the Broken Streets of Delhi (breakingasia.com)

I can confirm this being blind and living in Delhi.
And having traveled recently to other cities in India I've seen it's often as bad as this sounds, and sometimes worse. Last week I was in a city where there hardly were any sidewalks and I was walking pretty much on the road with cars and bikes parked on the side. There we have to squeeze pass and avoid the traffic that's moving pass you, literally inches away, on the other side.
This is the kind of adventure we have, but not necessarily want.

I wish there were some way to help. I hate seeing others in need and being unable to help.

Great story. What a difficult life he must lead. Just to get to and from work is a dangerous adventure for him. Thanks for sharing this story.

Are you from India? I do know the accessibility factors in India,
When it comes to blind/visually impaired or in general people with disabilities
I was born there but obviously came to New Zealand when I was about five or six, afterward migrated to Australia in 2006.

No, not from India. Maybe its because of the administration of a city. They may need a kind of system in road repairs and works.
