CHENNAI: Prompt action by neighbours and KK Nagar police officers saved the life of a 70-year-old woman living alone after the neighbours raised the alarm about her unusual absence.
Beenabal (70) lives alone on the second floor of an apartment building on PT Rajan Road in KK Nagar and is popular among her neighbours, who keep checking in on her. Concerns arose when there was no response from her side when they tried to check in on her on Wednesday.
The apartment's secretary, Ram, alerted the KK Nagar police station, and cops rushed to the scene. Head constable Narayanan and constable Maduraiveeran forced open the locked door and found Beenabal unconscious on the floor, having fallen from her bed.
The officers immediately secured medical assistance and arranged for an 108 ambulance to take her to a nearby private hospital for urgent treatment. According to police, she is reported to be recovering well. The incident highlighted the importance of community vigilance and prompt police assistance for vulnerable residents living alone.
