Police set up control room, deliver help to senior citizens in Greater Chennai East zone

Senior citizens living in Mylapore, Kilpauk, Triplicane who need assistance can contact 044-43252221.

Sixty-five year old David Raja Singh, a resident of Kottur, was surprised when he got a call from the police asking if he needed anything. He said he was finding it hard to get a second dose of Covaxin and they assured to provide help and requested him to visit a centre in Adyar to get vaccinated. This is a new initiative by the Greater Chennai Police’s East Zone police. They have started a COVID-19 control room to help senior citizens living in Mylapore, Kilpauk and Triplicane. “I was surprised about how they got my number. They asked me to go to Adyar, but I found it was crowded. I have not followed it up with the police yet. But it is a welcome move. I often see policemen coming to our apartment complex and signing the patta book,” said Mr. Singh.
