We cannot change Bengaluru overnight, but we can take action now: DK Shivakumar

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar at the India Today Environment Conclave 2025, emphasised the urgent need for sustainable urban development and environmental conservation in Bengaluru. Recalling his tenure as Karnataka’s Urban Development Minister two decades ago, Shivakumar noted that Bengaluru’s population had doubled from 70 lakh to 1.4 crore. Shivakumar also underscored Bengaluru’s water crisis, revealing that 7,000 borewells had dried up last year, with private suppliers exploiting the situation by charging exorbitant rates. Concluding his address, Shivakumar referenced Bengaluru’s historical and political legacy, noting that figures like Kempegowda, Kengal Hanumanthaiah, and SM Krishna had shaped the city.
