ADVERTISEMENTA decade ago, the Valley of Saints was alien to the concept of “old age homes” aka senior citizen homes but sensing its need, the Union territory administration has established these homes in all ten districts of Kashmir except Pulwama. Each old age home has a capacity of accommodating around 50 individuals at a time,” Ahkoon said. Last year in the month of December, he came to know that the district administration Bandipora has set up a home for the old age citizens. Petitioners sought the establishment of maintenance of old age tribunals as per the mandate of the senior citizens act. Following the petition, the government established old age homes in all districts of Kashmir in 2023.
