GBA chief’s public meeting draws huge crowd; citizens welcome the initiative

Greta D’Mello, a senior citizen suffering from pneumonia, has repeatedly complained to civic body officials about the pigeon menace caused by constant feeding near Johnson Market. At least ten residents in her apartment complex are senior citizens with health issues. However, central corporation officials had turned a deaf ear to her neighbourhood’s concerns.

Ms. D’Mello was among over 50 citizens who attended the public meeting held at the Bengaluru City Central Corporation head office on Thursday. “At least now, with the Chief Commissioner hearing our issues, some change may come with the initiation of action,” she told The Hindu.
