Seniors' helpline mitigates anxiety and isolation, lends ear to remarriage hope
Panaji: The National Senior Citizen Helpline set up recently in Goa has been receiving a varied mix of calls from lonely, scared, financially challenged, and technology-unsavvy seniors. Many seniors living alone seek reassurance and someone to talk to when they call the helpline, which provides them with information, legal advice, and practical solutions to problems. But more importantly, the helpline has the capacity to listen with empathy and offer emotional support. 'We find many senior citizens living alone after their spouse's death, with their children abroad. Some were in late marriages and have no children,' the project manager of the National Senior Citizen Helpline, Goa, Jyoti Kambli told TOI . She added, 'They call seeking advice but also turn to us when they have anxiety attacks and have no one else to turn to.' There's also the occasional surprise call that fills the heart with hope. A 72-year-old man who lost his wife, looking to remarry, asked the helpline to share his number. 'He said his children gave him permission to remarry and that he is looking for a 65-year-old woman who is healthy,' Kambli said. She added, 'He said he wants to marry legally and, in the event of his death, will leave her a share of his property as he wants her to live well.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP? Tome isso 1x ao dia se tem mais de 40 anos Portal Saúde do Homem Clique aqui Undo As for worrying cases, a senior citizen living all by himself called the helpline recently, saying his neighbours were abusing him and creating problems. 'Since he is financially well off, we advised him to set up CCTV cameras for his safety. We told him this would help him gather proof and help him in the future too,' Kambli said. In another ongoing case, the helpline is extending help to a senior citizen who became bedridden and requested that his sister be authorised to collect his pension on his behalf. Some seniors experiencing anxiety are regular callers. If a red alert is announced, they call fearing a flood-like situation in their areas and ask whether it is safe to go to the market. After the Ahmedabad plane crash, a senior staying near Mopa called asking whether he would be safe where he lived. Kambli, with the assistance of the helpline's system engineer Rajendra Gaonkar, tactfully and compassionately handles the varied requests and questions from the seniors. In another case, a 75-year-old man called the helpline saying that a cooperative bank insisted that he buy shares worth Rs 10,000 to open a Rs 3 lakh fixed deposit. 'I told him that as stipulated by RBI guidelines, the bank cannot force him to buy shares and told him to ask the bank to give it to him in writing,' Kambli said. She added, 'After two days, he called up saying that the bank backtracked once he asked for the demand in writing and allowed him to open his fixed deposit without any hassles.'

Drones to drop 5L seed balls in Kolhan to improve forest cover
1 2 3 Jamshedpur: Come July, forest officials in Kolhan division will launch aerial seeding on a mass scale. The foresters have identified inaccessible forest sites in Chandil, Dalma, Chakulia, and Ghatsila range in the Jamshedpur and Serikela division limits for aerial seeding. "With the support of funds under corporate social responsibility (CSR) scheme, the forest department bought an advanced drone at a cost of Rs 24 lakh. This drone has the capacity to lift 6 kg of materials at one go," said Saba Alam Ansari, the divisional forest officer (DFO) of Jamshedpur division. Ansari said the drone will be used to disperse seedballs in the inaccessible areas in the select five forest ranges. "We have set a target to drop over 5 lakh seedballs in a phased manner during the peak of the monsoon," said Ansari, who is also DFO in-charge of Seraikela and Dalma. The balls will consist of fruit-bearing plants, namely guava, mangoes, lemon, banana, black plum, custard apple, Burmese grape, bamboo plant and others. Over 50,000 seedballs of fruit-bearing trees were dropped across Chandil range on World Environment Day this year as a trial run. Designed to disperse and germinate at difficult locations, the seedballs were coated with clay and compost and were properly packed. "Aerial seeding will help draw environmental and ecological benefits in the coming years. It will also help the wildlife, particularly elephants, in sourcing sufficient food in the hilly forest," the DFO said. The department will involve villagers and women self-help groups in making the seedballs. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
