The Supreme Court has asked the Centre to consider including them under Persons with Disabilities (PwD) categories, granting them rail travel benefits currently denied. Many survivors face repeated journeys to super-specialty hospitals in Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad; often unable to afford AC tickets despite post-surgery discomfort. The plea, filed by Atijeevan Society, highlights a cruel gap: victims can’t get medical certificates easily, nor access existing PwD quotas. With over 21 disability categories already covered, this case forces a rethink: shouldn’t those permanently scarred by violence also be protected? The court’s next step could redefine mobility, dignity, and rehabilitation for hundreds of brave survivors across the country.
