Prakash Nadar (35), a differently-abled man is all set to mark International Women’s Day tomorrow, March 8 with a difference. This polio-afflicted Worli resident who walks with the help of crutches, and moves about in a wheelchair, is to attempt to swim from the Gateway of India to Rewas in Raigad and make a return journey. The distance is 42 km and estimated time Nadar would take is approximately 15-16 hours. If he is successful Nadar says, “It would be a record distance for open sea swimming in the handicapped category.”
