The plight of senior citizens is deplorable at times, especially when their children abandon them. Something like this happened to Lata Pardeshi of Mumbai. On May 15, she walked into the police station and told the cops that a civic demolition drive had reduced the dispensary she used to work and stay at to rubble.

Since husband and son passed away years ago, she did not have anywhere to go but her daughter-in-law and she refused to take her in. Around 250 police officers made the contribution and helped PSI Nilesh Bhalerao, 32, raise the fund for the woman.
