Dinesh Gupta
Cerebral Palsy
Delhi's physically–challenged have Dinesh Gupta to thank for making low–floor buses available. The 33–year–old who suffers from cerebral palsy with spastic quadriparesis or paralysis is shy of tom–toming his achievements.
A couple of years age, Dinesh filed a case against the Delhi Transport Corporation and the Delhi Government in the Chief Commissioner of Disabilities' office for the inconvenience caused to the physically challenged because of bused that were not convenient for them. Soon, a disabled–friendly bus (Route 620) was introduced between IIT and Shivaji Stadium as an experiment. This year, 200 low–floored buses hit the roads. The Delhi Government has promised to have all present buses replaced with disabled–friendly ones by 2010.
