Sir,
Senior citizens comprise nine percent of the population and only 29 percent are taken care of by their pensions. This shows that over half the senior citizens are living on the interest from their Bank deposits. Worse, bank rates are declining and so is income.
Inflation is skyrocketing and so are expenses. It is time for the Govt to formulate comprehensive, inclusive and realistic policies for elders welfare. After all, it is we who looked after the country in our heydays and expect the same enlightenment and vision from the present rulers.
Yours etc…
