There is a huge need of documenting all the differently-abled persons in Pakistan. The urgent need is to provide them facility in our cities; 1. There should be walkways in the city for the movement of disable people 2. Our Transport System should be equipped with the disable needs 3. Our Bus Stations, Railway Stations and Airports should be designed according to their needs 4. Our Buildings at least public buildings should have ramps at the entrances and wheel chair movement friendly 5. These people should be given special quotas for their jobs as per their disability 6. They are very much talented people, they should be mainstreamed through innovative ways, so that they could become essential part of our society
