Every ward will have Senior Citizen Centre-MCD

New Delhi, Elderly persons in the national capital may soon get senior citizens centres near their homes to assemble and interact with each other.

The MCD today said it plans to set up one such centre in every municipal ward.

Presenting the budget estimates for 2010-11 at a meeting of the MCD House, Standing Committee Chairman R K Singhal said an allocation of Rs 10 lakh has been made for each ward for such units which will also have televisions and newspapers.

"This will give the senior citizens a place to assemble and interact with each other. This will be made on the lines of 'panchayat ghar' in villages," Singhal said.

The Standing Committee Chairman said the MCD also wants to open working women's hostels in various parts of the city and asked the Delhi government to allot land for the same. - (Agencies)
