Kochi: To make metro travel more accessible for visually impaired passengers, a Braille station map and Braille indicators on handrails have been introduced at Changampuzha Park Metro Station.

These facilities, implemented as part of DISHA, a project by CII - Young Indians, were inaugurated by KMRL Managing Director Loknath Behera on Wednesday.

The Braille map and handrail indicators allow visually impaired travellers to easily locate entry gates, ticket counters, escalators, lifts, and platforms, enhancing their independence and safety within the station.
