He highlighted the need for regular contact, registration, and direct interactions between police and elderly residents to ensure their safety, welfare, and trust. Additionally, he stressed the importance of prompt grievance redressal, emergency assistance, and regular patrols by local officers.

The Lieutenant Governor directed a thorough reassessment of the senior citizen population and the expansion of the mobile application accordingly.
