A decade without a Master Plan: Who should be planning Bengaluru’s future?
Bengaluru’s future must focus on breaking free from outdated frameworks and embracing citizen-led, climate-resilient planning.
Nearly a decade ago, while I was working on the Revised Master Plan for Bengaluru (RMP 2031), a senior planner remarked: “Only the Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA) has the legal right to plan for Bengaluru.” Today, that assertion is unravelling in a tussle between the newly formed Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) and the BDA over who should plan for the city’s future.

Honorable. Mr. Harris,
Indira Nagar 7th Main Road is an important road connecting Cambridge Ulsoor, Layout & other places to Indira Nagar 100 Feet road. This prestigious area falls under your constituency.

The stretch has also become the haunt for stray dogs and cattle due to garbage dumping.
I request your august self to visit this stretch of the 7th Main Road once, and take stock of the situation. Please initiate necessary action to make this road garbage & stink free, for which admirers of your proactive approach shall be highly obliged.
Thanks in anticipation…. Nagaraj – A suffering Resident
Respected Sir,
in spite of repeated cleaning of the manhole overflow in 9th Main Road, Viveknagar, Bangalore-560047, the problem persist for ever. Every third day the manhole overflows. That means the staff are not cleaning the manhole properly. The do the work for the name sake collect money and go away. Even though it is not problem, we are forced to complain since the overflow is right in front of our house. Even if I raise a complaint they will come only after a week and repeated phone calls to them. There must be a permanent solution for this problem. Kindly do the needful.
