BBMP New Ward List 2020
The State government issued a draft notification on the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) ward reservation for women, SC/ST, general category, and others. The move comes as the five-year term of the BBMP council ended on Thursday. The government had appointed senior IAS officer Gaurav Gupta as an administrator, while BBMP Commissioner N. Manjunath Prasad had, on Sunday, announced the appointment of senior officials of the civic body as ward-wise nodal officers.
Recently, a joint select committee on BBMP Bill-2020, which is likely to be tabled in the next session starting September 21, had recommended increasing the number of wards from 198 to 225 wards as well as extending the Mayor’s term from 12 to 30 months. However, the draft on the reservation has been published for 198 wards.
The notification, issued by the Urban Development Department, states that the draft has been issued keeping in mind public interest. “Anyone affected by the draft notification within seven days can submit their suggestions or objections in writing with valid reasons to the Deputy Commissioner of the Bengaluru Urban district,” the notification states.
