Elderly women lead a life of penury with officials ignoring their pleas for pension
Sirigi Gangamma is 67 years old and had lost her husband about a year ago. Her son Nagaiah, about 45 years old, is a sanitation worker and met with an accident some time back. Since then, he is unable to go for work and is dependent on his mother who has to feed him.
Gangamma is not getting old age pension and her repeated appeals to the authorities fell on deaf ears . Similar is the condition of Ankamma, another elderly woman. She gets her meal at the nearby anganwadi centre thanks to the mercy of the staff there. If it is a holiday, she has to depend on her neighbours to feed her. She has also lost her husband.
