Away from the warmth of family, this elderly has been living alone for the last 25 years. On her 83rd birthday the Mumbai police came in and provided the much needed company, making the senior citizen’s day full of life and light!
Lalita Subramanyam from Mumbai, India, is on local police’s list of “senior citizens requiring care and protection.” Two of her children live in the United States while another son lives in southern Indian city of Bengaluru.
But on her birthday, when she really longed for her family, they just could not make it. When the Police officers found out that she would be alone on her birthday, they decided to do something special for her and fill the void.
They Threw A Surprise Party – with Cake and Flowers and loving company.
According to the Huffington Post, officials from the police station reached her house this morning with a cake and bouquet of flowers.
The happy birthday grandma cut the cake in the presence of Deputy Commissioner of Police Ashok Dudhe, who was Zonal DCP of this area last year, and senior police inspector B M Kakad alongwith a police constable who regularly calls on her.
Twitter users praised the officers for their kindness, while sending their wishes to the elderly lady.
One officer said, “She is like my mother…She was very happy with the birthday celebration”. “She said her children visit her few times a year but are unable to come frequently.”
A very touching story of how Police Officers contribute to society more than their assigned duties.
