1. BBMP appoints nodal officer to supervise setting-up of disaster management cell

The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has now appointed Dr. Trilok Chandra as the nodal officer to oversee the formation of a disaster management cell in the civic body. This has been a long-pending measure which the BBMP was forced to take due to heavy rains in the city over the past week.

Earlier, following the downpour on November 6, BBMP administrator Rakesh Singh had instructed all zonal commissioners to appoint an engineer for each ward for disaster management. Mr. Singh had said the engineers would take care of problems like potholes, solid waste management, repair work of pedestrian paths among other things in their respective wards.
