A Bengaluru-based woman working in a multinational corporation has spoken up about the difficulty of finding a wheelchair-accessible apartment in the city. Twitter user Mrunmaiy said she was asked to vacate her current apartment a few weeks ago, sparking a long search for a new home. The higher rent was justified for Mrunmaiy because it meant she did not have to travel on the road to get to her office. However, finding another accessible apartment in the city has become an uphill task. The lack of accessibility in Indian apartments, including narrow doorways and small elevators, presents significant challenges for wheelchair users. Mrunmaiy’s experience highlights the difficulties faced by individuals with disabilities in finding suitable housing in a country where accessibility is not a priority.
