Wish to enquire what are the legal obligations
Q: I wish to enquire what are the legal obligations for builder (AFNHB), society (JalVayu Towers, Sector 47, Noida) and RWA to provide resident owners accessibility options to persons with Disability(PwD). Eg. ramps for wheelchair access, etc.
Building Regulations for New Okhla Industrial Development Authority CHAPTER - IV - Structural Safety – Fire Safety and Service Provision for Physically Handicapped: Provisions for physically handicapped persons shall be made in all buildings and facilities used by public in accordance with the provision of Part III, Annex D of National Building Code .
True Anil, but even in Delhi/NCR things are in a very bad state. In Noida, even the District Magistrate's office is in a building totally inaccessible to wheelchair users. Good thing is atleast all the new shopping malls are fully barrier free. :)
Hi Shishir, as far as i know Jalvayu Towers offers all the modern amenities but do not know whether they are providing any special treatment for disable people.
Hi Sunil, unfortunately, modern amenities do not always translate into accessible environment. For example the community center and the RWA office in JVT is not accessible for wheelchair users.
