The Social Welfare Department today said it has organised a joint concession programme with the local catering and retail sectors to provide special discounts for the elderly on Senior Citizens Day on November 19.

Over 2,000 restaurants, retail shops and social enterprises have pledged to offer discounts or other concessions to Senior Citizen Card holders for their purchases on that day.

Participating dining and shopping outlets will put up the event poster at prominent places for easy identification.

Details of the joint concession programme and participating outlets are available on the Senior Citizen Card Scheme mobile app and the departmental website.
