As part of this initiative, SPRING worked closely with the Punjab Traffic Police to introduce special measures designed to enhance the safety and visibility of individuals with hearing impairments.
One such measure included the assignment of a distinct orange light on vehicles belonging to
individuals with hearing impairments, serving as a visual indicator to alert other road users and law enforcement personnel to their presence on the road.
Additionally, SPRING facilitated the distribution of specially designed stickers for vehicles owned by individuals with hearing impairments. These stickers not only served as a means of identification but also conveyed a powerful message of inclusion and support for this community.
A fruitful meeting with RPO Rawalpindi
Through targeted awareness-raising workshops, training sessions, and community outreach initiatives, SPRING and the Punjab Traffic Police endeavored to foster a culture of empathy, understanding, and inclusion on the roads of Punjab. By sensitizing law enforcement officials and equipping them with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively interact with individuals with hearing impairments, we aimed to create safer and more accessible roadways for all.
As we continue on this journey towards greater inclusivity and accessibility, SPRING remains committed to working hand in hand with stakeholders across society to champion the rights and dignity of individuals with disabilities.

The biggest issue of transportation is inaccessibility for the persons with special abilities that create barriers in their day-to-day life. In Pakistan there was no railway station that was accessible before this initiative. SPRING in collaboration with the Railway Ministry successfully installed ramps, portable ramps, and accessible washrooms for male and female, and also made accessible waiting areas for special persons.
Spring has similarly established disability help button, with the help of which passenger with any disability can receive all sorts of assistance from station who are being trained and staff sensitized for 15 days. SPRING has likewise made the ticket counters by reducing the length of desk at counters.

However, with SPRING’s visionary leadership, barriers were shattered, and opportunities flourished.

Raja Imran Hussain, Pakistan’s First Person with Disability Contested in Election 2024
Disability activist Raja Imran Hussain (Chairman Spring Association) is known as the first candidate with a disabled ability to participate in the Pakistan General Election and has become one of the most recognizable faces of inclusion democracy. It shed light on the sharp inadequacies that exist in the Pakistani electoral system with reference to discrimination that persons with disabilities suffer and unequal treatment they receive. During the campaign, Chairman Raja Imran bravely laid focus on regular barriers that prevent voting spiritually from being fair and inclusive for everyone, and how change is needed to allow voters with disabilities equal opportunity.
Anti-inequality sentiment seems to be the predetermining factor of Chairman’s journey into politics due to firsthand experience of witnessing the exclusion and prejudice entrenched within the politics of Pakistan. He emphasized that persons with disabilities deny their electoral rights and again, ignorance and non-recognition prevailed as exclusion and stigma continued. His campaign was two pronged: not only was he seeking a seat in the political parties but he also used the opportunity to give a voice to minorities and marginalized communities who often find themselves excluded from the electoral process because they do not possess the right to vote.
European Union had observed Hussain’s activism and they offered him a chance and interviewed him during the assessment of Pakistani election of 2024. Their report supported some of the revelations he was to make on how there
is a flawed environment within the electoral framework for addressing the issues of persons with disability. Raja Imran Hussain’s critique included aspects such as: increased mobility for disabled voters, availability of polling stations, and prejudicial stand that political parties took about the disabled voter and candidate. That twenty-five-year interaction with international election observers and their reports helped to nurture a more extensive discursive practice on the subject
of electoral reform and that democracy in Pakistan, in particular, must be considered as inherently and therefore unavoidably plural as well.
With countless examples of his work, Raja Imran Hussain is setting the pace in Pakistan’s political arena and encourages the implementation of transformative policies that bring out simple representative values such as equity and human rights. Through this he has triggered constructive discussions regarding disability within the democratic process, banning and calling on those who make developmental policies to factor the disabled into the political process to enable them to fully and effectively and actively exercise the civic duty of electing their leaders and being elected by fellow eligible citizens into various political leadership positions. Looking from the complex perspective of political activism and electoral campaign, Raja Imran Hussain remains a symbol of perseverance and tenacity that has only one goal place Pakistan for every single Pakistani.
