Ferozepur, September 22, 2022:  The disabled section is still deprived of social development, said Anil Gupta, General Secretary, Progressive Federation for the Blind (PFB) Ferozepur Unit, expressing concern over the delay in appointment and transfers of visually impaired persons.

Twitter has rolled out a feature to help blind and visually-impaired people read images embedded with the tweets via its new image description reminder.

The new image description reminder will encourage more people on Twitter to add helpful descriptions to the images they tweet, the company said in a statement.

Alternative text, or alt text, is a written description of what's in an image that can be picked up by screen reader software used by the visually impaired.

Maya Rani ‘Mehlawat’, a visually impaired teacher, has been teaching blind students for the past over two decades. She is unhappy that the parents of visually impaired students do not bring them up in a normal environment.
 

She says, “The parents are either too possessive and protective or they completely neglect their children. They need to adopt a normal approach towards them.”
