Here are some key takeaways I picked from Karnataka’s draft Apartment Ownership & Management Bill
1. Apartment maintenance charges will be linked to the super built-up area of each flat
2. Builders are liable to pay maintenance charges for unsold apartments until they are sold
ಕಳೆದ ಕೆಲವು ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾವಿರಾರು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗರು ತಮ್ಮ ಸಲಹೆಗಳು, ದೂರುಗಳು ಹಾಗೂ ಕಾಳಜಿಯ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡುವ ಆಫರ್ಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಸಂಪರ್ಕಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ನಿಮ್ಮ ಬೆಂಬಲ ಮತ್ತು ಮೌಲ್ಯಯುತವಾದ ಪ್ರತಿಕ್ರಿಯೆಗೆ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು.
ನಾನು ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬರಿಗೂ ವೈಯಕ್ತಿಕವಾಗಿ ಪ್ರತಿಕ್ರಿಯಿಸಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾಗದಿರಬಹುದು, ಆದರೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕಾಳಜಿಗೆ ಪೂರಕವಾಗಿ ನಮ್ಮ ತಂಡವು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದೆ.
ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಗಳು ದೈನಂದಿನ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳನ್ನು ಪರಿಣಾಮಕಾರಿಯಾಗಿ ಬಗೆಹರಿಸುವಂತೆ ನಮ್ಮ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯನ್ನು ಬಲಪಡಿಸಲು ನಾವು ಬದ್ಧರಾಗಿದ್ದೇವೆ.
Over the past few days, thousands of Bengalureans have reached out with suggestions, complaints, concerns, and offers to help.
Thank you for your support and valuable feedback.
While I may not be able to respond individually, our team is working to address your concerns.
We are committed to strengthening the system so local authorities can resolve everyday issues effectively.

A student once explained how wild pigs are trapped:
First, they are given free corn in the forest.
They return every day for the easy food.
Then slowly, fences are built around them, one side at a time.
At first they resist. Then they adapt.
Finally the gate shuts and the pigs, now dependent on the free corn, have lost their freedom without even realizing it.
That is how freedom often disappears in societies too. Not suddenly through force, but gradually through dependence.
Free rations. Free electricity. Free cash transfers. Endless subsidies. Political promises of “something for nothing.”
Each may appear harmless in isolation. But over time, citizens begin depending more on the State than on their own enterprise, effort and initiative.
And when dependence grows, freedom quietly shrinks.
A nation becomes truly strong not when more people vote for benefits, but when more people create, build, innovate and contribute.
There is no free lunch.
Someone always pays the bill.
And sometimes, the hidden cost is freedom itself.
This is very good!!👍🏾👍🏾😊

Wish more and more govt agencies do this. It doesn’t cost much. It brings so much transparency and accountability. Thanks to the Deputy CM @DKShivakumar and Chairman BDA, @mlanaharis for making this possible.

The results of the recent state elections have been dramatic by any measure.
But for me, this image will remain the most unforgettable outcome of the elections.
More than 166,000 votes were cast between the two leading candidates in this constituency in Tamil Nadu.
And history was changed by just one vote.
This image should be shown in every school in the country & perhaps around the world.
So that every child understands that when they grow up, the greatest power they may possess is the Power of One.
The power of their one vote.
Mirrors installed on walls to prevent people from urinating in Mysuru.
It's crazy the things we need to do in India to enforce basic civic sense among adults.
‘Help’ bolte bolte hum bhool jaate hain ki, ghar ka kaam sabki zimmedari hoti hai! 🫶
This Mother’s Day, share it & take responsibility kyuki ghar ka kaam hai sabka kaam.✨ #GharKaKaamSabKaKaam#PhilipsGharKaKaamSabKaKaam
BREAKING: Much-needed municipal reforms are on the way.
Modi govt constitutes a high-powered group to draft a Model Municipal Act.
Our cities are glorified shantytowns, with unthinkable civic corruption and apathy. Streets get easily flooded, garbage lingers for days, houses crumble.
Time to end all that on mission mode in the next 10 years.
However, no reform will work unless citizens stop being callous.
Bengaluru city corporation has decided to pay ₹250 to anyone who records & shares videos of people throwing garbage in public places . Videos can be shared via WhatsApp and an app. A parallel campaign is in place to return garbage to the doorstep of litterbugs & impose fines. Formal announcement later today.
