Officials' mistake leaves elderly couple sealed inside their New Delhi home

Thu, May 8 06:08 PM
NEW DELHI (AP) _ The Wadhwas were enjoying a nap after lunch when a team of overzealous New Delhi officials padlocked their gate, trapping the elderly couple inside and inadvertently bringing them to the center of a heated debate about zoning laws and illegal businesses. The couple was caught up in a sweeping municipal drive to instill order in India's chaotic capital by shutting down and demolishing illegally built structures that have sprung up like mushrooms across the sprawling city of 14 million.
City employees mistook the residence of Madhusudan Wadhwa, 76, and his wife for a commercial business in violation of local zoning laws when they locked their gate Monday, officials said. The couple didn't realize they were trapped until their son visited that evening and saw the municipal seal outside, Wadhwa said Tuesday.
It took four hours for police and city officials to realize the error and open the gate. Wadhwa runs a small business selling sweets to small shops but he doesn't work from his house, he said.
The Wadhwas have never received any legal warnings or notices from the city before being sealed inside their house. The city's sealing drive has shut down hundreds of structures, many of which were built without regard for safety, aesthetics or zoning laws.
The hit list includes cubbyhole stores in residential neighborhoods, restaurants without proper licenses, international businesses lacking registration and, apparently, sleepy homes after lunch. The Wadhwas' plight received heavy news coverage Tuesday.
"It was great negligence on the part of the officers," New Delhi Mayor Aarti told CNN-IBN news channel. "We are going to take very strict action against the officers who have done this.
" There was no comment from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi on Tuesday and calls to their offices went unanswered. The sealing drive began in 2005 when India's Supreme Court ordered the New Delhi municipality to demolish buildings without permits or those that violated zoning laws.

Senior home care | Elder Care

Senior home careMost senior home care in the USA offer mental health services, wound care, surgery, bathing and assistance with personnel hygiene are offered. Medicines are given regularly for the desired patients. Home senior cares in the UK are also very good. In such homes, elderly people get assistance to live independently in their own homes. Services are offered nationwide by employees known as caregivers. The caregivers are made to undergo a criminal background check and are insured. Caretakers give companionship to the elderly, read for them, arrange their appointments, give their medication, assist the elderly to walk, write letters monitor their diets and prepare their meals. But the thing is, these senior home care centers are expensive; low middle class people can not afford in this places. Good news is, you can locate elderly home care organizations worldwide, in any country, with the help of the internet. You should also do a thorough back ground search on the agency, before you get your elderly parents or relative admitted. I recently came across an article about an American gentleman, who could not afford to pay for home care services for his parents in the USA, due to the high costs involved. With the assistance of the internet he was able to re-locate to India with his aging parents. He was able to rent a 2 bedroom house, employ a full time nurse and a cook for his parents at Pondicherry, a city in South India. He said that he had to incur only one third of the cost in the USA for all the above said facilities.Some of the aspects to be considered before you admit an elderly person in a home care are: Whether the home care services offered are of good quality, whether the charges are feasible and do they have expert and experienced personnel employed to look after your elderly parents or relatives. How long have these homes offering their services? Do they have a catalogue explaining the various services offered by them? Most important, how do these homes handle emergencies? Are caretakers available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Do the patients have enough privacy?It is always advisable to do as much research as possible before you decide to use the services of elderly home care shelters. You can always consult a relative, your doctor, or a social service organization like the area agency office on aging for assistance in evaluating your needs. You should also see that you get a good reference of these elderly home caretakers from doctors, hospital discharge planners, family members and community leaders.We should always be thankful that god has provided us with such loving parents, in our younger days. When our parents become old it is our duty to see that they are well looked after. We can either provide for them ourselves or else put them up in safe hands, by getting them admitted in a senior home care for the elderly. Senior citizens deserve comfort and they certainly get it in the senior home care centers.
