Senior citizens need support from the govt

He further added: “ We are focusing on making the lives of the elderly easier and better to live.”

AAP leader Sanchit Sawhney informed The Observer that unlike other parties, his party implements what it promises. He promised to get back when asked what his party has for senior citizens.

At a press conference that The Observer attended IT Minister Rajeev Chandrashekhar said “ BJP believes in Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas and we never ignore any section of the society. We will launch our manifesto for this on the first of May. We are focusing on making the lives of the elderly easier.”

Devendra Rao, a Congress worker, said the party will release its manifesto for senior citizens on April 29.

IT minister Rajeev Chandrashekhar on Friday accused AAP leaders of leading a lavish lifestyle at the cost of the taxpayer. He referred to the Rs 45-crore renovation of the official residence of Delhi chief min- ister Arvind Kejriwal and mentioned about it.

AAP state general secretary Sanchit Sawhney said that it is not Arvind Kejriwal’s house but the Delhi chief minister’s house. What the CM is doing is not renovation but restructuring. Recently, Delhi’s lieutenant governor had spent Rs 15 crore to Rs 18 crore on renovating his house. yukta.m@iijnm.org

This park features a spectacular limestone karst landscape with an underground river. One of the river’s distinguishing features is that it emerges directly into the sea, and its lower portion is subject to tidal influences. The area also represents a significant habitat for biodiversity conservation. The site contains a full ‘mountain-tosea’ ecosystem and has some of the most important forests in Asia. The river’s cavern exhibits dramatic speleothems and several large chambers as much as 120 m wide and 60m high. Its accessibility and navigability up to 4.5 km inland allows it to be experienced by the general public, who can view the magnificent rock formations on a river cruise unequalled by any other similar experience elsewhere in the world. The property contains outstanding biodiversity with the Palawan Moist Forest recognized by the WWF’s Global Report as containing the richest tree flora, with high levels of regional and local endemism and as being the largest and most valuable limestone forest in Asia. Sources say that it is a paradise of the Earth and everyone should visit.
