Bengaluru’s civic transition needs a public record

The pending elections involve more than a date. Residents need to know how the five municipal corporations will function, how boundaries and rolls are handled, and which body is responsible for decisions during the transition. Clear documentation can prevent confusion when a service fails.nnThe Supreme Court’s December direction creates an accountability point. Bangalore Herald will follow the schedule, the voter list and the civic decisions taken before elected representatives return.

Neighbourhood access to water, waste collection, schools and clinics is part of the infrastructure story. Bangalore Herald will compare development promises with the services people can use today.
