Vijaita Singh has written about the predicament of an
old, uncared for Mr. Aggarwal, who is 73 years old. The articles highlights his recent manhandling at a Hotel where he had gone to check tariff for his friends, who were coming from USA. Mr. Aggarwal
lives alone in Paharganj area of Delhi. Very few of his neighbours know about him. Even the Police, which is supposed to keep a record of all elderly
people in the neighbourhood,
doesn't have him on their records.
Mr. Aggarwal has four children, all settled in USA, but none of them cares for him.He doesn't remember their names and lives alone as his wife is no more. The article is accompanied by a photograph of pitiable looking Mr. Aggarwal. It is unfortunate that people like him are forced to live in such conditions in an era of technological advances. Looks like we have become too selfish.
