About Constituency:

[flexiblemap src=”http://data.opencity.in/Data/Karnataka-Assembly-Constituency-152.kml” width=”100%” height=”400px” ]

Byatarayanapura, among the largest and also the fastest growing in the city, is a comparatively newer constituency in north Bangalore. It comprises the wards Jakkuru, Thanisandra, Byatarayanapura, Kodigahalli, Vidyaranyapura, Dodda Bommasandra, and Kuvempu Nagar.

Famous for the Gali Anjeneyya temple, this constituency is a mix of more developed areas with developing ones. You find an uneven blend of affluent localities, with malls, new colleges and residential areas along with other revenue layouts and less developed, almost village-like areas that lack good infrastructure. Well-developed educational institutions are balanced against government schools. Vokkaligas and minorities form most of the voters. The constituency is straddled by a highway leading to the International Airport as well as the Aerospace Park.

The region is plagued by the usual problems, such as bad roads, lack of proper drainage and scarce drinking water. These are issues that have become gargantuan in many of these revenue areas. Areas like Bhadrappa Layout get water-logged during the rainy season. Public and private organisations are also accused of having taken over farmland, eating into the livelihoods of farmers, even though all the parties promise “holistic development”. Citizens voiced their grievances at Janaspandana, a Citizens’ Forum, bringing together citizens, government and activists to thrash out their issues.

  • The total number of voters in 2008: 1,41,793.
  • Total number of voters in 2013: 2,08,380  At
  • The total number of registered voters currently: 4,19,694.

How Chennai’s Third Master Plan can tackle climate risks

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…
