Kolkata Police to Install Chair Lift for Accessibility
Imagine a police station with stairs at the entrance.
Now, imagine a special chair that can go up and down those stairs.
The Kolkata Police is doing just that: installing a chair lift at the Behala Police Station.
This is to help older people and those with disabilities who might find it hard to climb stairs to file a complaint.
It's like a moving chair that goes along the stairs, and you just sit on it, buckle up, and use a simple control to move up or down.
The police are spending money to make sure everyone can easily access the police station.
