The initiative to limit Church Street to only pedestrians on weekends, which has been a huge success, will be extended till May 31. The Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT), which is spearheading the initiative, is exploring options with the city’s civic body to make it a more permanent feature. “Post-pandemic, globally, too, cities are re-imagining themselves. They are moving towards sustainability with a focus on pedestrian facilities, non-motorable transport and public transport. Pedestrianisation of Church Street during weekends is a move towards the same, simultaneously creating a communal urban space. We want the civic body to take it forward even as we move towards creating similar spaces elsewhere in the city,” said V. Manjula, Commissioner, DULT. The Directorate is presently working on Gandhi Bazaar, Commercial Street, and Malleswaram 8th Cross, she said.Election Results 2024: arrangements made for counting of votes in Vizianagaram, Srikakulam districts

Bengaluru saw one of its worst water crises in 2024 with ground water drying up and several parts of the city scrambling for water. With instances like BWSSB supplying treated wastewater to the construction industry, apartments being permitted to sell water from their STPs to the department, and lakes in parts of Bengaluru and neighbouring districts being filled with water from the 33 STP plants in the city, recycling of water became an important topic of conversation during this period.
