“The BBMP officials have been directed to solve the problem of drinking water that the people of Bengaluru face. There should be a separate file for each ward in the city and the officials must have a record of photos of the projects they are working on. There should be photos of daily work. The Congress government is committed to bringing transparency in the system”, he said in the meeting.

He also asked the MLAs and MPs for their opinions on the development of Bengaluru. Citing the issues related to the development projects in the city, Shivakumar said the Congress government is committed to bringing back the glory and honor of Bengaluru.
