NT Correspondent

Bengaluru: Karnataka Legislative Joint Committee Chairman Rizwan Arshad has emphasised the importance of citizen participation in shaping Bengaluru’s future, stating that valuable public suggestions will be incorporated into the proposed Greater Bengaluru Governance Bill. Speaking at a consultation event held at RV Dental College and Dr. Narasimhiah Auditorium in Jnanabharathi Campus, he highlighted the need for a new governance framework, as existing laws are not effectively enforced.

The proposed bill aims to streamline admin and enhance basic civic amenities. With Bengaluru’s rapid growth—housing over 1.5 crore residents and more than one crore vehicles—the city is facing immense infrastructural pressure. The bill proposes restructuring the city’s governance.
