The meeting organised by the Senior Citizens Ba Community Centre was aimed at allowing the Social Welfare to have a consultation with the Education Minister.

Ms Akbar hailed the discussions as a success adding that such consultations were important, especially for elderly members of society.

She said some of the grievances raised by the senior citizens would be sent to the Ministry of Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation.
