International Elderly Day celebrated

The District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) celebrated International Elderly Day at Old Age Home, Ram Colony Camp, here on Tuesday. The elderly persons living in the facility also enjoyed the event.

CJM-cum-Secretary, District Legal Services Authority, Hoshiarpur, Raj Pal Rawal said, “During our childhood, we are taught in our homes that we should respect our elders. Elders are the foundation of our home and family and we get the blessings of elders with luck, so everyone should respect their elders.”

Deputy Chief Legal Aid Defence Counsel Harjinder Kumar Verma gave information about the legal rights of the elderly. Meanwhile, District and Sessions Judge Dilbagh Singh Johal also visited Old Age Home and interacted with elderly people.

Besides, as part of the cleanliness drive in the court complex, the CJM gave directions to the employees to keep their staff room and outer area of the complex clean. These were cleaned under his supervision so that mosquitoes and diseases do not spread.
