Greater Bengaluru Governance Bill 2024: Towards a new model of governance

The Hindu  

The draft of The Greater Bengaluru Governance Bill, 2024, submitted to the Karnataka government by the Brand Bengaluru Committee, formerly known as the BBMP Restructuring Committee, provides for a three-tier governance of the city, and for the first time, brings all parastatals on one platform. The draft Bill doesn’t specify the number of corporations, even as the BBMP Restructuring Committee report submitted in 2015 recommended for five corporations. The Bill also proposes to create a new body called the Greater Bengaluru Authority at the city level as the apex layer of a three-tier governance structure, chaired by the Chief Minister. Co-chaired by the Bengaluru Development Minister, will have a footprint of around 1,400 sqkm, mostly congruous with the Bengaluru Metropolitan Area.
