"World Social Forum!" shouted a leading voice. "Shame, shame, shame, shame!" the others chorused.

The global meet that is supposed to take on the world sharks, ironically, faced the ire of a group of disabled people who were protesting against the 'lack of accessibility' of the meet.

The National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People led from the front accusing the organisers of not setting up even basic facilities for the disabled people despite giving 'advance intimation' to them.

Twenty-year-old Hradesh Kumar said, "The WSF represents women and children's groups but has nothing for the disabled."
