SWD Udhampur contests social media video post on Old-age Home

UDHAMPUR, July 15: District Social Welfare Officer, Kanika Gupta has contested a video post on different social media platforms on Jagriti old-age home. She stated that after conducting on the spot verification, it was found that the allegations raised against the management of Jagriti old age home are completely false. “Some media channels presented a statement of a single inmate of Jagriti oldage home who might be having some personal grudges. He is residing in the ashram from past 3 to 4 months” she said.

“While talking to others inmates and children residing in the ashram  it was found that they get all the facilities, fresh food and that too with due respect. There are some inmates who are staying for more than 15 years and are bed ridden. They too are being dealt with due care. Moreover local people of the nearby area were also asked about the same. Nothing was found against the management of ashram” the SWO said.
