New Delhi, July 21 (IANS) Delhi plans to consult a

The Delhi government has agreed that a disability
expert on access would be involved at every stage of
the planning, design and implementation of the master
plan, a press statement said Thursday.

In response to recommendations made by the National

Urban Development Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad.
