In a significant development, the Delimitation Commission, established by the Government of Karnataka through Order No.UDD 17 BBL 2020 (Part-1) (e) dated June 23, 2023, has taken a crucial step towards restructuring the administrative landscape. The commission has meticulously demarcated 225 wards within the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) jurisdiction. This strategic move aligns with the pertinent notifications and guidelines outlined in Order No.UDD 17 BBL 2020 (Section-1) (E) dated August 4, 2023, and Order No.UDD 17 BBL 2020 (E) dated August 5, 2023. To foster transparency and inclusivity in this process, the Government has chosen to publish the draft Delimitation Proposal for the 225 BBMP wards. This proposal is now available for public scrutiny and critique. The Government aims to encourage the active participation of citizens by creating a platform where they can access comprehensive details about the delineated wards. The provided website offers the unique opportunity to visually explore the boundaries and extent of both the proposed delimited wards and the existing ones. Additionally, the platform provides pertinent population statistics for each ward. The Government, cognizant of the valuable insights and perspectives held by the citizens of BBMP, extends an earnest invitation for their engagement in this matter. The residents are encouraged to capitalize on this facility and express their opinions, viewpoints, and objections within a stipulated time frame of 15 days from the date of the Delimitation Proposal’s publication. This initiative marks a collaborative approach to local governance, where the voices of the community are acknowledged and integrated into the decision-making process. The Delimitation Commission’s comprehensive approach in delimiting the wards and seeking public input reflects a commitment to a more participatory and democratic administration. As the process moves forward, the active involvement of the BBMP citizens is paramount. By leveraging the provided website, individuals have the unique chance to contribute to the shaping of their local governance framework.
