On behalf of the voluntary organization B-SCAN, the arrangements were made for wheelchair users in the Northern Gallery on December 8, 2012 to enjoy the last One Day match between Bangladesh vs West Indies which was held at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
On one side the difficulty of access to different places and on the side the lack of proper transportation there is hardly any opportunity for persons with disabilities, especially the wheelchair users to watch any game from the field. But most of the people does not know about this wheelchair accessible place in Northern Gallery the cricket stadium that has been arranged on the occasion of World Cup Cricket.
It was a wonderful arrangement with the cooperation of the Bangladesh Cricket Board. Board president Nazmul Hassan Papon came himself to acquainted with others and listened to their demands and assured to fulfill those.
It is requested on behalf of wheelchair users to make special arrangement to get tickets easily and are requested to make ticket sale centers accessible .It is also requested that such standards measures should be taken in all International stadiums of Bangladesh.Mr. Shafiqur Rahman Munna, a former Chairman of the Grounds and Facilitates Division, has especially assisted us a total of 30 people team to watch this game.
