Sir
Subject: Attacks on Old People Living Alone
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I wish to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the danger old people living alone are facing. Most of the senior citizens are people who are living alone with just a domestic help. Their children are adults and have moved out. The domestic helps hired by these aged people often take advantage of their helplessness. They are burgled, poisoned or beaten to death. It is indeed a sad plight for our senior citizens.
It is my humble request to the authorities concerned to issue a certificate of verification of the domestic help and ask their neighbours to set up a neighbourhood watch where everyone can look out for the safety of each other especially the older people. I hope my concern will reach the ears of the concerned authorities through your newspaper.
Yours faithfully
Deepika
