GUWAHATI: In a path-breaking judgement on making services accessible to persons with disabilities in the state, Gauhati high court has imposed penalties on a gym and the Assam government for discrimination against such a person.
Judge Ujjal Bhuyan ordered a prominent gym here and the Assam government to pay Rs 50,000 each as penalty in a 2011 writ petition filed by Arman Ali, executive director of National Centre for Promotion of Employment of Disabled People (NCPEDP) against inaccessible, disabled-unfriendly services by the gym.
