Taking forward the ‘Citizens for Change’ initiative that was started ahead of the recent Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) elections, Deccan Herald and Prajavani are arranging interactive sessions between residents/Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) and elected representatives in all the Assembly constituencies of the City.
The second such session in the series will be held in the Basavanagudi Assembly constituency on Friday.
Ahead of the BBMP elections held on August 22, 2015, Deccan Herald and Prajavani had asked residents to pose their questions on drinking water shortage, garbage
disposal, cleanliness, bad roads and footpaths, streetlights, road safety, stray dog/cattle menace, parks and lakes, to the candidates contesting from their respective wards. Many RWAs/residents responded, getting signed undertakings from the candidates that they will address the listed grievances once elected.
Connect with corporators
It is now time for residents of the Basavanagudi Assembly constituency to directly connect with their corporators, many of whom are first-time corporators. The interactive session will provide residents an opportunity to know and partner with their corporator and collectively develop their ward and build a better Bengaluru.
Basavanagudi MLA L A Ravi Subramanya will be present at the interactive session along with corporators representing the six wards in the constituency – B S Sathyanarayana (Basavanagudi), A Kempegowda (Hanumanthanagar), J M Savitha Mayanna Gowda (Srinagar), M Shyamala (Vidyapeeta) M Venkatesh (Kathriguppe) and A V Nandini Vijaya Vittal (Girinagar). Officials from the BBMP and other government departments will also be present.
RWAs/residents can email the top 10 problems/ grievances related to their wards to dhpvcitizensforchange@deccanherald.co.in ahead of the Friday’s session. For clarifications/ details contact: Prathap E L (9845171343); Lakshmi Prasanna (9449017378) or Shridhar (9845950951).
