Most of places of public utility are designed without keeping physically challenged people in mind. Either the flight of steep high stairs would be there, or the washrooms wouldn't be designed to be usable by them, or the tap at the drinking water outlet would be unreachable, and the list goes on. This is a Social/Legal Discrimination of the Physically Disabled People.

Individuals in wheelchairs, walkers, or with crutches are restricted to a few outlets which are accessible. If there were universal standards for things such as at least one ground level entrance, a serviceable bathroom for the physically disabled, trained assistances to help them enter the outlet, and wider doorways, people with wheelchairs, walkers, or crutches will no longer be shut out as potential customers.

We request issuance of an order to all the Government buildings, Public Places, Shopping Malls, Restaurants, or Business Houses to construct an ease of access and a Disabled friendly bathroom in their concern premises for barrier free accessibility for the Disabled Community.
