Senior citizens in Telangana are calling for a dedicated welfare corporation and free bus travel to improve their mobility and well‑being.
Senior citizens across Telangana have voiced a demand for a dedicated welfare corporation that would focus on the needs of the elderly population. The group also seeks free bus travel for seniors to ease their daily commute.
The call for a specialized body comes amid growing concerns about the lack of targeted support for the aging community. Advocates argue that a welfare corporation could streamline services such as healthcare, pensions and social activities.
In addition, the free bus travel proposal aims to reduce transportation costs and improve accessibility for seniors who often rely on public transport. The demand has been presented to state officials, who are expected to review the feasibility of the proposals.
The movement reflects a broader trend in India where elderly citizens are increasingly seeking government-backed initiatives to address their unique challenges.
