Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) (Translation: Greater Bangalore Municipal Body) is the new administrative body for the city of Bangalore. The final notification on the formation was made by the Government of Karnataka on January 16, 2007.
The city of Bangalore has been witnessing exponential growth due to the development of IT and Biotechnology sectors over the past decade. The newly formed body would extend the urban area of Bangalore city to better manage the challenges posed by the exponential growth.
BBMP would include areas currently administered by 7 City Municipal Councils(CMC) (Rajarajeshwari, Dasarahalli, Bommanahalli, Krishnarajapuram, Mahadevapura, Byatarayanapura and Yelahanka), one Town Municipal Council (Kengeri) and 111 villages around Bangalore in addition to the area currently administered by Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BMP).
The BBMP will replace BMP once the inception procedures and civic body elections are complete.
