BENGALURU: The incumbent chiefs of local administration may be overwhelmed with the latest ranking Bengalureans have given the city, but the turnaround from the 58th position in 2018 and getting enough citizens to vote weren t easy tasks for their predecessors.

Like every year, the Centre had set a target - the number of citizens that should vote/participate - for each city, failing to meet which it wouldn t be ranked. We need to thank citizens for voting in large numbers. The target set for Bengaluru was 90,000, the second highest in India, and this process had to be completed in the 29 days of February 2020. Then BBMP commissioner marshalled resources to ensure we were ranked and we re happy today

The
Central Business District is undergoing a makeover under the
smart city project. As a result, the roads in the area are in a sorry state and Lavelle Road is no exception to this.
The makeover is going on at a slow pace. As a result, motorists and those staying or working in the area are having a
tough time. Mohan Kumar, a motorist who regularly travels on this
stretch said, “There is no distinction between a road and dirt track and it is extremely tough for the bikers to negotiate the stretch.” Another commuter Navya S, said, “The road has become narrow as the footpath is being widened and vehicles are being parked on one side of the road. So, we really need to be careful while driving as you don’t know when you will have a fall.
