Bengaluru rains: HC directs BBMP to set up ward-wise grievance cells
The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday directed the BBMP to forthwith set up ward-wise grievance cells in order to address the problems of citizens in view of the unprecedented rains.
A division bench headed by Acting Chief Justice Alok Aradhe passed this direction while hearing a PIL related to potholes in Bengaluru city.
The PIL was filed in 2015 by Vijayan Menon and others seeking a direction to the BBMP for an action taken report on the repair of the ‘killer’ potholes.
During the hearing, the bench asked the counsel for the BBMP on the situation prevailing in the city due to incessant rains and waterlogging in residential areas.
