(a) to (c): The number of wheel chairs/stretchers provided at stations, varies from station
to station and is determined after taking into account the quantum of traffic handled and the
requirement. Division-wise figures in this respect are not maintained. Procurement of new wheel
chairs/stretchers and replacement of the damaged wheel chairs/stretchers is an ongoing and
continuous process.
