BENGALURU: Namma Bengaluru, which has put Karnataka on the global map through its potential in the IT sector, is struggling to find solutions to some of its problems. As the years pass by, the city poses new challenges to its administrators.
While the state government heavily banks on revenue generated here, the city is not getting its due attention. Many governments have promised to give the city a makeover. However, the city’s fragile infrastructure keeps getting exposed.
It did not take long for the Congress government, which was voted to power in May, to realize that they had to pull up their socks as a young woman lost her life after a car was deluged in the flooded underpass at KR Circle, just a stone’s throw from the power center, Vidhana Soudha. The incident held up a mirror to the city’s poor infrastructure.
