A picture clicked by me when I was standing at the platform.

It’s a typical Sunday morning & my usual spot of catching a fast local train to go to my home💜

Things have not changed much on platform no 4 at Dadar station, only they have removed the barricades on the other side of the platform, so it is open from both sides of platform no 4 & 5 now😊

I make a newsletter on international disability news and I need your help.

The two biggest challenges for a project like this are visibility and financing.

Please share, to help others find it.

And if you're comfortable, it runs on pay-what-you-can.
