New Delhi: Delhi is home to more than 7 lakhs senior citizens and just to make life a little better for them, The Path, an NGO, has come up with a noble idea to provide them a free cab service.
Buzurgon Ke Humsafar (old peoples’ companion) provides a driver and a vehicle free of cost to these elderly citizens.
You just need to dial 9999-866-966 to avail of this service. This initiative has been started by an NGO working for the senior citizens.
Director, The Path said, “Mujhe aisa lagta tha ki woh jahan rehte hain wahan rehte huye unki life ko hum thoda better bana sakte hain (Where ever they stay, we can make their life a little better).”
Senior citizens can also use the service if they want to have a day out. The Path provides for a special cab on Saturdays for picnics. That's not all – the organisation also has a provision for emergency services. The initiative has been welcomed.
One senior citizen says, “Main paralysis ka patient hoon, jab bhi gaadi book karte hain mil jati hai, usse bahut sahuliyat hoti hai (I am a paralytic, whenever I book a vehicle, I get it, it very convenient).”
Another senior citizen says, “Mera accident hua tha, beta office jata hai toh lekar nahin ja sakta tha hospital roz. Inhone badi madad ki (I had an accident, my son goes to work and he can’t take me to the hospital everytime. The Path has been very helpful in this regard).”
The Buzurgon ke Humsafar has only 5 cars in their fleet for now but as they move on with their journey, they hope to add many more to it.
