About the Constituency:

[flexiblemap src=”http://data.opencity.in/Data/Karnataka-Assembly-Constituency-167.kml” width=”100%” height=”400px” ]

Vijayanagar Constituency is the northernmost area in south Bangalore. The name is a legacy of the Vijayanagara empire of the 15th and 16th centuries. This constituency is surrounded by Mysore Road and Magadi Road, while Chord Road runs through it. Vijayanagar comprises Kempapura Agrahara, Vijayanagar, Hosahalli, Athiguppe, Hampinagar, Bapujinagar, Gali Anjaneya Temple and Deepanjalinagar wards.

The problems in this area are like those in other constituencies, including congested roads, heavy traffic, lack of street lights and flooded low-lying areas during the rains. Other issues are open drains, potholed roads and poor garbage management.

The Vrishabhavathi river as well as its tributaries are considered to be “a nuisance” here. Over the years, they are being viewed at as sewerage points. Residents here also complain that there is no general hospital and very few primary health centres, so they are forced to travel long distances for hospital service.

  • The number of votes in 2008: 1,09,616
  • The number of votes in 2013: 1,33,256.
  • The total number of registered voters currently: 220653.

by , and October 12, 2026 Governance
As the city faces extreme weather, a study calls for ward-level action, improved climate adaptation and inclusive planning.

Over the past two decades, Chennai has weathered a tsunami, repeated floods, and now, according to a new study, a rapidly worsening mix of heat and rain. Heatwave-preconditioned extreme rainfall events in the Chennai Metropolitan Area have nearly tripled over four decades, rising from an average of 1.2 events a year between 1982 and 1991 to 3.2 events a year between 2012 and 2021. When a heatwave comes before the rain, the same study finds, the population exposed to flooding rises elevenfold and the number of buildings affected rises seven-fold. A separate assessment projects that heatwave days in the city…

PG collapse in Delhi’s Satya Niketan: Who is responsible?

by October 6, 2026 Governance
A DU PG collapse exposes the gap between Delhi's planning rules and real building safety. Watch this video to know more.

On September 6, a five-storey boys' Paying Guest (PG) accommodation collapsed in Satya Niketan, near Delhi University's South Campus, leaving seven people dead. This video looks beyond the single building to ask how the neighbourhood reached this point. Delhi has had a formal planning system since the DDA was set up in 1957 and the first Master Plan followed in 1962. Yet Satya Niketan has grown into a dense student housing hub. Officials say the collapsed building had permission for only the ground plus first floors. Ayush Anilal, an architect, studied the area for his thesis. He explains how intensely…
