The Kozhikode Corporation’s ‘Pakalveedu’ (Day home for the elderly) at Kunduparamba will host a Praveshanotsavam (newcomers’ festival) at 4 p.m. on Wednesday to welcome the elderly in the locality to enjoy the facilities offered there.
Writer M. Mukundan will be the guest of honour on the occasion while Mayor Beena Philip will inaugurate the Pakalveedu. Deputy Mayor C.P. Musafir Ahamed will preside over the event.
The ‘Smart Pakalveedu’ was set up in 2021, but could not be put to proper use due to COVID-19 restrictions. It served as a vaccination centre for the elderly. Located next to the Public Health Centre at Kunduparamba, it will serve the elderly from four neighbouring wards.
