Govt failing its aged citizens

The population of the aged in the state is 8-10 lakh and growing. Yet the state govt has managed to set up only two age-old homes, in Bageshwar and Chamoli.

There was time when the responsibility of running the house and feeding family members rested on his shoulders. But not anymore. Old and shrivelled Janak at the ripe age of 86 has taken a back seat.
