BILASPUR: A
new helpline number 94791-93298 has been launched by
Raigarh police for
senior citizens in the district.
BM Meena, district superintendent of police, launched the number which went into service from Thursday.
"It is more prudent that police come to the aid of senior citizens at their residences, instead of them having to come all the way to us for any complaint," said B N Meena.
"Police will be at their doorstep the moment we receive any phone call or text message.
Senior citizens can also send us video clips or contact us through
WhatsApp so that we can start assisting them as fast as possible," he added.
