JANASENA Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 According to many reports and statistics, India is not the most friendly nation for the elderly. The following story adds strength to the statistics. An elderly woman crawls 2kms to avail her old age pension. Deserted by her husband and two elderly sons, 65-year-old Rudana is staying alone, and has no support of her of relatives either. In order to receive Rs300, she has to crawl to the panchayat office crossing NH-55 to collect her pension money that feeds her for the next month. The administration has not taken any efforts despite her request to send the pension to her home. “I had appealed on several occasions that I cannot walk as my condition does not permit me and my pension may be delivered at home. The pleas went unheard and I have to drag myself the distance to get this,” said Rudana. “There is no provision to deliver pension at the doorstep if there are legal heirs. We will find out if anybody can collect the money on her behalf,” said Athmallik Sub-Collector Amulya Panda. $s@d $s@d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
