“A helpline will be soon set up to provide security assistance and help to senior citizens in the state,” Chouhan said at a function organised to mark on the International Day for Elderly Persons at the Academy of Administration here. “State government will not let the elderly persons suffer,” he added. “Information of senior citizens staying alone in town and big villages will be collected and listed to ensure proper service and security to them,” Chouhan said.
