Senior citizen helpline expands to two new districts

Round-the-clock support for elderly residents is now available in two additional districts, bringing the total coverage to twelve districts statewide. The expanded helpline offers assistance with medical emergencies, pension queries, and general welfare check-ins.

Residents can reach the helpline at the toll-free number listed on the department’s official page. Officials say response times have improved by 30% since the service was centralized earlier this year.
