As Mumbai undergoes one of its largest infrastructure overhauls in recent history, persons with disabilities (PwDs) are struggling to cope with dug-up roads and broken footpaths. Despite the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016, mandating accessible infrastructure, Mumbai’s streets and public spaces remain largely non-compliant. The needs of over four lakh disabled citizens are being sidelined amid chaotic civic works. (Pics/Shadab Khan, Satej Shinde, Atul Kamble, Bharat Soni)
