One Year of Greater Bengaluru Authority: Improved Access but Challenges Persist
One year after Bengaluru's civic administration was divided into five corporations under the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA), residents note improved access to officials and faster resolution of some local issues. However, challenges remain in areas like solid waste management, funding, and infrastructure execution. GBA Chief Commissioner M. Maheshwar Rao highlighted better decision-making and public interaction but acknowledged slow revenue generation due to external factors and ongoing surveys. The absence of elected councillors is seen as a barrier to full local accountability and governance effectiveness.
