The idea is very good but I think in general out 1400 ticket the senior citizens 700 and others 700 in special entry. Apart from that 2800 Luddus will also go daily at free of cost as such I opine a nominal charge to be fixed to the person accompany with a senior citizen in order to avoid misuse of this facility.
