Electronics City to come under BBMP
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Council has passed a resolution to include Electronics City under its fold for administrative purposes.
As per resolution, villages in and around Electronics City will be merged under the BBMP’s jurisdiction.
At present the electronic city has a total built up area of over 3 crore sq. feet. Though the surrounding areas are not under BBMP limits, the civic body has been providing all necessary infrastructures to that area.
Hence, the resolution makes it necessary that areas which voluntarily opt to stay out of BBMP’s jurisdiction would have to pay more tax.
The opposition seemed to have welcomed the move and suggested that the Bangalore International Airport (BIA) should also be under BBMP to improve its revenues.
