rain in Karnataka
Days after heavy rains wreaked havoc in Bengaluru drawing people’s ire against the government of Karnataka and former Chief Minister S. M. Krishna appealing to protect ‘Brand Bengaluru’, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai announced setting up of zonal level task forces in the city to be headed by a Minister.
“Each of the eight zones in Bengaluru will have a task force headed by a Minister, and will have MLAs, MPs and MLCs as its members. There will be special commissioners, joint commissioners and all other officials from multiple agencies. This task force will oversee all development work in the zone, and will be the nodal agency in times of crises like floods,” Mr. Bommai announced on May 20.
