by August 11, 2015 Governance
How was the 2010-15 BBMP tenure for Malleshwaram ward? What were the works done? What are the issues troubling the citizens here?

45 – Malleshwaram

 

When you look at the pending bills list of Malleshwaram ward, this looks peculiar: a list of entries for which no contractor has been mentioned, no year in which the work order was given is applicable or no details are available for the payments made.
