Ever since the Brand Bengaluru portal was launched to seek suggestions from residents for the city’s development, the authorities have received over 20,000 inputs.
Given the good response, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has decided to extend the last date for sending inputs by another 15 days. The civic body will stop accepting inputs by July 15.
Several citizens raised concerns over not giving adequate attention to fixing basic issues such as freeing footpaths of encroachments, commercialisation of residential areas, lack of parking facilities, and poor condition of roads, lakes, and stormwater drains, lack of seriousness to harvest rainwater, and overall cleanliness.
