They face physical abuse, and fall prey to cybercrimes too
The outbreak of the pandemic has been especially harsh on senior citizens. It is said that compared to 2019-20, the complaints on ill-treatment and abuse of the elderly in the State rose by a whopping 71.7%. On Tuesday (June 15), which is observed as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, a website to create awareness on elder abuse, how it can be prevented and how to report cases was launched by Praveen Sood, Director General and Inspector General of Police. The bilingual website - www.stopelderabuse.in - has been developed by Nightingales Medical Trust.More Related News
