Mayor Gangambike Mallikarjun held a special meeting with her nine predecessors on Wednesday, who advised her on development works in the BBMP and suggested that the number of Kempegowda awards be brought down.

Former mayors Puttegowda, Huchappa, K Narayanaswamy, S K Nataraj, Katte Satyanarayana, Ramachandrappa, Manjunath
Reddy, Padmavathi and Sampath Raj were present at the discussion.

“I have taken their opinions and guidance on the various issues the city is facing now. Most of them suggested clearing the garbage on time and intensive cleaning of the roads. Huchappa suggested we give out fewer Kempegowda awards,” Gangambike said.
