The draft proposal for BBMP ward delimitation has been notified in the gazette.

Her major achievement that made headlines,…

  Ward delimitation before civic polls State government has taken up the delimitation of wards based on a proposal by the BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike), in the run up to the civic polls in 2020. After delimitation, the number of wards will remain the same, but the core city will have fewer wards compared to the outer zones.

The exercise will be done on the…
