{{/usCountry}}"Yes. Gestures like this particularly by uniformed people will convey a strong and positive message among public," posted an individual. "The gesture is indeed full of humanity but we need barrier free transportation system more than people with gold heart. What would be the need to put both into misery if we have ramps to board train at each railway station of India?" commented another. "Great job Mr. Saravanan. We must learn from him and help persons with special needs and old people in all the places, give them priority while in queue," shared a third. "Great anecdote of a public servant...May his tribe increase," expressed a fourth. A fifth individual wrote, "The 'hope of humane' flame is kept glowing by such humans."
