Bengaluru: Byrathi ward divided into 4 discontiguous fragments

Citizens and political parties in Bengaluru are criticizing the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) for splitting the Byrathi ward into four discontiguous parts. They argue that this unscientific ward delimitation could hinder governance, disincentivize citizen mobilization, and impede participation in governance. Activists are concerned that the fragmented ward may lead to authorities neglecting complaints and failing to address civic issues efficiently. While some officials claim that all objections and suggestions were considered during the delimitation process, citizens allege that their suggestions were ignored.
