Bengaluru Governance Bill Passed by Legislative Council
Imagine Bengaluru is like a big city with its own rules.
The people in charge of making and changing those rules just made a new one!
It's called the Greater Bengaluru Governance (Amendment) Bill 2025.
This new rule makes it clear that the main city government shouldn't boss around the smaller local governments.
The people in charge of the city explained that the government wants everyone to work well together, even if different groups or parties are in charge of different parts of the city.
They also talked about changing how the city is split into smaller areas based on how many people live in each.
This is to make sure everyone has a fair say!
The Greater Bengaluru Governance (Amendment) Bill 2025 was passed by the Legislative Council.
The Bill was previously passed in the Legislative Assembly.
The DCM, who also handles the Bengaluru development portfolio, tabled the Bill.
The amendment clarifies that the Greater Bengaluru Authority won't interfere with corporation functions.
