WOW! AFTER SUDHA CHANDRAN'S HEARTBREAKING APPEAL, GOVERNMENT TAKES STRONG ACTION - PUBLIC IMPRESSED!!
Home > Tamil Movies > Tamil Cinema NewsA few days back, Actress and renowned Bharatanatyam dancer Sudhaa Chandran, took to her Instagram page to make an appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking him to issue a specific card to senior citizens like her so that they can avoid being "grilled" by the airport authorities because of her prosthetic limb.
In a heartbreaking post, she revealed that she is asked to remove her artificial limb each time she is on a professional trip and reaches an airport. Sharing her ordeal in a video on Instagram, she said, “Good evening, this is a very personal note that I want to tell to our dear Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji, this is an appeal to the central government, I am Sudha Chandran, an actress and dancer by profession, who has danced with an artificial limb and created history and made my country very proud of me.”
The 56-year-old actor further said, “But every time I go on my professional visits, each time, I'm stopped at the airport and when I request them at the security, to the CISF officers that please do an ETD (Explosive Trace Detector) for my artificial limb, they still want me to remove my artificial limb and show it to them. Is this humanly possible, Modi ji? Is this what our country is talking about? Is this the respect that a woman gives to another woman in our society?"
Sudha Chandran, who bagged the National Award for her role in the Telugu film Mayuri, which was based on her life, lost her leg in an accident but she returned to dancing and acting again using an artificial limb. The CISF responded to her plea and promised that they will look into the matter. "We assure Ms.Sudhaa Chandran that all our personnel will be sensitised again on the protocols so that no inconvenience is caused to travelling passengers,” they added.
The recent update is that the Civil Aviation Ministry has issued draft guidelines for aviation sector stakeholders such as airlines and airports to ensure disabled people can travel at ease. According to the draft guidelines, airport operators must make special arrangements to facilitate screening of persons with special needs so that the process is carried out efficiently "keeping the dignity and privacy of the passenger in mind". Later, Sudha thanked the Aviation Minister for the prompt action.
