About the Constituency:

[flexiblemap src=”http://data.opencity.in/Data/Karnataka-Assembly-Constituency-156.kml” width=”100%” height=”400px” ]

The Mahalakshmi Layout assembly constituency is situated in northwest Bengaluru. It is considered to be the third largest residential layout in the city, following Jayanagar and Banashankari.

Its six wards are Mahalakshmipuram, Nandini Layout, Geleyarabalaga, Nagapura, Kamalanagar and Vrishabhavathinagar.

The layout faced a special problem when heavy rains lashed it in 2017, killing five. The Vrishabhavathi valley flooded houses between Laggere and Yeshwanthpur. Garbage and sewage choked the region.

Residents were furious and accused the authorities of having done little to improve the area. They urged the authorities to upgrade and improve it and received a plethora of promises, including upgrading 23 of the 53 parks here. Narrow roads and lack of water supply plagues the region. Due to fast growth, there has been an exodus of workers from Peenya to Nandini Layout and Mahalakshmipuram.

  • The total number of voters in 2008 :113,404,
  • The total number of voters in 2013:1,48,061
  • Currently, the number of registered voters: 2,86,923.

Chennai to lose thrice as many trees as originally estimated for Metro Phase II

by June 23, 2026 Governance
Over 8,000 trees would be either felled or transplanted for the project. Meanwhile, over a third of the transplanted trees haven't survived.

‘Inconvenience today for a better tomorrow’ signs follow commuters across the city as work inches on for the 118-km Chennai Metro Phase II. Residents eagerly await three corridors that will connect Madhavaram to SIPCOT, Lighthouse to Poonamalle Bypass, and Madhavaram to Sholinganallur by 2028. But the project is resulting in an irreversible loss of green cover along the corridors, far more than was estimated at the time of its approval. A total of 8,029 trees would be affected, either felled or transplanted, for the project. Over 7,000 of these trees have been uprooted already. Though new trees are planted to…
