On December 29, Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) board member, Armaity Tirandaz, was unanimously elected as the new chairperson by her fellow board members. The decision followed the resignation of ex-chairperson Yazdi H Desai on December 23 due to his health. In this exclusive conversation with mid-day, Tirandaz talks about the top five immediate things on her agenda.

What are the top five things you want to take head-on?
We have been especially focused on the areas of senior citizens, monetary assistance, medical aid, maintenance of properties, housing, etc. Redevelopment is also on the cards as many of our properties are aging and the need of the hour is trying to accommodate the nuclear families that approach us for help. We are also committed to preserving our religious places and their upkeep.
