Almost 100 blind navigators helped steer their sighted drivers through the streets of Delhi in the fourth car rally for the blind on Sunday (December 16).
The route of the rally was kept secret until just before the cars were flagged off. Then each navigator was handed a map and had to trace the route in braille.
The rally wound its way through the streets of Delhi for 80 kilometres in relatively heavy traffic. The drivers were literally in the hands of their navigators for directions.
The rally was flagged off by the Vijay Karan, who was commissioner of police until a few day beforehand.
