KOCHI: HelpAge India and the Kochi corporation’s Vayojana Sevana Kendram at Chullickal are jointly organising a second air tour for elderly women. The tour will be flagged off from the Vayojana Sevana Kendram by MLA Uma Thomas on Thursday.

The expenses for the trip is being borne by Capt. Gopakumar, managing director of Chennai-based Celestine Travels, after he came to know of the missed opportunity of 15 elderly women during the first air tour.
