Bengaluru Authority Pledges 200 Crore to Fix City’s Infrastructure Woes

Bengaluru, India – November 24, 2025 – The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is set to address the city’s pressing infrastructure issues with a ₹200 crore allocation from disaster management funds. Chief Commissioner M. Maheshwar Rao issued directives to various civic agencies on Monday, urging them to collaborate and expedite repairs to roads, lakes, and storm-water drains damaged during the monsoon season.

The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has been instructed to identify and promptly repair water leakage points, including those seeping from manholes, ensuring swift processing of road-cutting permits.

Electric poles obstructing pedestrian pathways are to be cleared by Bescom, and the proper maintenance of transformers is mandated. Concerns over the slow progress of metro construction on Ballari Road prompted Rao to urge BMRCL officials to accelerate the work and meet deadlines.

To address the issue of abandoned vehicles cluttering public spaces, city corporations are procuring towing vehicles and will work with traffic police to identify dedicated parking zones. Bus stop locations causing traffic congestion are also under review, with corporations tasked with relocating them as needed. The GBA aims to improve the quality of life for Bengaluru residents.
