Former captain of the Indian cricket team and president of the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) Sourav Ganguly also joined during the meeting. The virtual meeting was organised by Pronam, a joint initiative of Kolkata Police and an NGO called The Bengal to assure senior citizens that police are always by their side when they need any sort of help or assistance. On Thursday, during the virtual meet, Goyal assured the elderly that police are always there to help them. He said: "Whenever you need us, you will find the Kolkata Police by your side."

During Covid, Pronam provided medicines and essential services to those senior citizens whose mobility was restricted due to age-related ailments. Also, cops keep a periodical check on Pronam members to ensure that they are safe and doing well.
