Sir,
Senior Citizens comprise 8% of the population and only 29.0% are taken care of by their pension. 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 sky rocketing are expenses. It is time for the Govt to formulate comprehensive, inclusive and realistic policies for senior citizens welfare. After all, it is we who looked after the the country in our heyday and expect the same enlightenment and vision from the present rules.
Yours etc…
