Kakching, November 30 2022:
District Health Society, Kakching observed International Day of Older Persons at the multipurpose hall of Kha Manipur College, Kakching on Wednesday.
Speaking on the occasion, Kakching deputy commissioner Somorjit Salam observed that the trend of remembering the elderly people only on specific days while ignoring them all year round is not a good sign.
It is inevitable for all of us to become old one day and as such, the elderly people must try to guide and foster good relationship with their children/grand-children, while at the same time, the young must love and take care of their aged parents/guardians.
The observance was also attended by Kakching CMO Th Rajen, KMC caretaker principal Yengkhom Raju and DNO Dr Elangbam Kiran.
A free health Checkup for the elderly people of the area was conducted, followed by presentation of gifts to the elderly people by the Kakching DC and the CMO.
