Various activities were organised by Sense India to make people aware about deaf-blindness on the birth anniversary of Helen Killer on Sunday.
Over 500 people including children participated in 12-km bicycle ride and 3-km tricycle and hand cycle ride that started from Decathlon near Shantipura crossroads at 7 am.
Unique games like blindfolded basketball and football, Zumba and life-size snakes and ladders were also organised.
The central government had passed Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill in 2016 which saw the inclusion of deaf-blindness, supporting over five lakh people.
The event also saw professional deaf-blind physiotherapists who involved the participants in simple stretching exercises and helped them cool off, reinforcing the fact that every person with deaf-blindness if given an opportunity can prove to be an equally contributing member in the society.
