BBMP to tie up with cab aggregators to transport voters with disability to polling booths

The BBMP, which is accepting requests from voters with disability for transportation to polling booths, is planning to tie up with cab aggregators to provide the service.

District Electoral Officer (DEO) Tushar Girinath told reporters that the requests are being collected on the mobile app Saksham, designed by the Election Commission.

“We will accept requests till May 3 or 4. Ola or Uber will be arranged to bring them to the polling stations,” he said, adding that the poll panel has also organised 4,000 wheelchairs at the polling stations for the benefit of persons with disabilities.
