As was mentioned in the previous audio, our Nagpur railway station has a total of sixteen platforms, and the number of each platform is written in Braille on both sides. What does “both sides” mean? It means that when you go down the stairs to change platforms—some people also use lifts—there too, you will find Braille markings. In those places, the platform number is also written in Braille, and we will talk about that as well. But the current discussion is about how visually impaired individuals can identify platforms at railway stations. So friends, at our Nagpur railway station, there are sixteen platforms, and the platform numbers are written in Braille on all sixteen. For example, "Platform Number One," "Platform Number Two," "Platform Number Three," etc., are all written in Braille, and this is done on both sides. How is this done? When you go down the stairs, there are grills (railings) on both the left and right sides. On both of these sides, platform numbers are written in Braille—on the left-side grill as well as the right-side grill. This is a very effective and safe method for visually impaired people to identify the platforms. So, if you are ever at a railway station and you’re confused about which platform number you are on, instead of asking someone or getting lost, first do one thing: go down the stairs to the platform area and check both sides of the grills to see if something is written there in Braille. If you can read Braille well, you’ll be able to know which platform it is—whether it's Platform Number 2, Number 3, etc. In some places, it's written with three letters in Braille, while in others, it directly says "Platform Number 3," and so on. So, there is no need to get confused. Your mobility can be completely safe if you follow the instructions given in this audio. Try following the suggestions I have shared, and the next time you go to a railway station and go down to the platform area, make sure to check both sides of the grills. You will likely find Braille text written there showing platform numbers such as "Platform Number 1," "Platform Number 2," etc. This system may already be implemented at almost all stations, and perhaps not yet at some locations, but at our station, it has already been implemented.
