To make movement safe for visually impaired people, it is essential to keep footpaths free from encroachment, ensure necessary facilities for crossing roads, and make public transport and government establishments disability-friendly.

According to concerned persons, to build a safe and dignified environment for visually impaired people, along with government and non-government initiatives, cooperation from people at all levels of society is needed.
