GDA Vice-Chairman Yadav said, "In so many cases, elderly couples are living alone as their children are living abroad or far away from them for their jobs, thus they feel lonely.
"Maintenance of their houses and safety is the biggest dilemma for them. It is often seen that servants rob the precious articles and money and kill senior citizens."
In the proposed old age home to be spread over 3000 sqm, round-the-clock security will be provided to the inmates and caretakers will cater to their basic needs and medical emergencies, he said.
Yadav further said that there will also be guest houses in the proposed new facility.
"Consultancy firms have been invited by GDA for proposing the design," he said.
