Extend age limit

Sir, — The Central Government gives various concessions to senior citizens. But Personal Accident insurance is not available to persons above 70 years of age. Even private insurance companies do not allow it. The age limit was fixed long back. With an increase in life expectancy, the Government should increase the age limit to 80 years.
