White Cane Safety Day today

Every year, October 15 is celebrated as World White Cane Safety Day. White cane is a commonly used tool that assists blind, deaf-blind and visually impaired people to move from one place to another. The white cane does not only help blind people to move independently but has also become a symbol for the blind. This day motivates all the relevant quarters such as transporters, traffic police, drivers and conductors to take better care of the blind through gatherings, functions and mass media campaigns.
