Wanted: An elected body for Bengaluru’s civic agency
The Hindu
City has been without one since September 10, 2020, when the 5-year term of the BBMP ended
Potholed roads, water-logging, encroachments — Bengaluru’s list of problems has not seen any major changes in the recent past. Yet, the city has been without an elected body since September 10, 2020, when the five-year term of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike came to an end.
Elections to the local body have been put off owing to a “confusion” on whether the polls have to be conducted for 198 wards or 243 wards, as per the new BBMP Act, 2020.
