`Old and alone`

2016-03-03
APROPOS the letter `Old and alone` (Feb 28).

I salute the writer for highlighting a pertinent problem being faced by society. I am also a senior citizen and being issueless, I strongly concur with the demand that the government build old houses for senior citizens.

I feel that nothing would be done by any government as they have other priorities, and the old and the ailing whose votes matter little have lost their utility for them. I advise the writer of the letter to shortlist old houses run by private NGOs to find a suitable abode for his parents.
