Since 1992, the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities has been celebrated annually on December 3 across the world.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also hailed the determination of the disabled people on the micro-blogging site.

“On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, I salute determination of our Divyang sisters and brothers and convey my best wishes to them,” Modi tweeted.

“Let us continue our ongoing efforts with renewed vigour and create a nation where both accessibility and equality prevail,” he said.

Even veteran actress Shabana Azmi urged Narendra Modi to make public transport accessible for the differently-abled.

“PM sir we need to make our public transport accessible to people with disabilities. Ramps, toilets functioning, wheelchairs at all railway stations etc,” Shabana posted on Twitter.
