For a disabled person in Mumbai, even the most basic places and facilities like drinking water or an accessible toilet are out of reach. In a recent audit by Svayam Foundation, it was found that a shocking 96% of public buildings and spaces (including hospitals, educational institutes, administrative offices and police stations) don't have an accessible toilet for the disabled, while 80% don't have ramps for wheelchair access.
