The Pune District Legal Services Authority (PDLSA) has formed a
13-member panel of lawyers to provide free legal advice to senior
citizens in the city. The initiative is part of the National Legal
Services Authority's National Plan of Action 2012.
"We started our initiative on October 1 on senior citizens' day by
organising legal awareness sessions at Matoshree old age home. Similar
workshops will be held at other old age homes for active senior
citizens groups,"
R K Malabade, secretary, PDLSA said.
In addition, a panel of 13 lawyers will give advice to senior citizens

"If a senior citizen need to file case, the PDLSA will
help him. In case, the jurisdiction is outside Pune district, the
PDLSA will refer him to legal
aid services from the concerned district", said Atul Gunjal, a panel member.
PDLSA has appealed to senior citizens to contact it on 020-25534881 or
