Democracy works best when it starts from the ground up.
Last weekend , citizens across East Bengaluru Corporation came together to co-create their ward manifestos—identifying local priorities, debating solutions, and shaping a data-driven, bottom-up civic agenda for BECC.
This wasn’t politics done for citizens; it was governance designed by citizens.
Your Ward. Your Voice. Your Manifesto.
#BAFBLR collaborates with @Janaagraha1@oorvani@GreatrBlrBalaga @millionvoterrising @citizenmatters@BECCUPDATES for Citizen’s Manifesto Jam

1,500!
BAF is now 1,500 member associations strong!
What began as a vision to unite apartment communities and create a common platform for shared challenges has grown into a powerful federation representing 1,500 associations.
Together, we have shaped conversations on apartment governance, waste management, water security, electricity tariffs, civic infrastructure, mobility, sustainability, urban planning, and citizen rights—engaging with governments, regulators, and civic bodies as one united community.
This milestone belongs to every Association, Management Committee Member, Volunteer, and Resident who believed that together we are stronger.
Every new member strengthens our collective voice and our ability to create lasting impact. As our cities grow vertically, the need for a united community has never been greater.
Thank you for your trust. Thank you for your participation. Thank you for making BAF what it is today.

For many years, apartment owners have called for a new law that better addresses their needs relating to ownership, governance, and management. Our Government has taken note of these citizen demands.
Under the guidance of Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri D. K. Shivakumar, the Government has prepared a draft Bill. Before taking it forward, we would like to seek the views and suggestions of all stakeholders.
Accordingly, a stakeholder consultation has been scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 15 July, at conference hall of Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium. The Hon’ble Chief Minister will be present at the consultation.
We invite you to participate and share your suggestions to help shape this important legislation.

#Haralur Road Bus Update: This is the route which can help decongest Haralur road, now #MF22ET passes via ORR thru Marathahalli to Tinfactory (similar to 500EB). A good Yellow line connectivity.
Hope this would get better adoption.

ನಾಡಪ್ರಭು ಶ್ರೀ ಕೆಂಪೇಗೌಡರ 517ನೇ ಜಯಂತಿಯ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು
ದೂರದೃಷ್ಟಿ, ಸಮಗ್ರ ನಗರ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣದ ಶಿಲ್ಪಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಕೆರೆಗಳು, ಮಾರುಕಟ್ಟೆಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಸಮುದಾಯಕ್ಕೆ ಅಡಿಪಾಯ ಹಾಕಿದ ಮಹಾನ್ ದಾರ್ಶನಿಕರಾದ ನಾಡಪ್ರಭು ಕೆಂಪೇಗೌಡರನ್ನು ಗೌರವದಿಂದ ಸ್ಮರಿಸೋಣ
ಅವರು ಕಂಡ ಕನಸಿನ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಇಂದು ವಿಶ್ವದ ಗಮನ ಸೆಳೆಯುವ ನಗರವಾಗಿ ಬೆಳೆದಿದೆ. ಆ ಪರಂಪರೆಯನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡಿ, ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು ಸ್ವಚ್ಛ, ಹಸಿರು ಮತ್ತು ಸುಸ್ಥಿರ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸುವುದು ನಮ್ಮೆಲ್ಲರ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿ.
Today, we pay tribute to the visionary founder of Bengaluru - who laid the foundations of a city built on thoughtful planning, vibrant marketplaces, thriving lakes, and strong communities.
From a fortified town to a global innovation hub, Bengaluru continues to reflect the vision of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda. Let us honour his legacy by working together for a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable city.

BAF urges that effective implementation of the SWM Rules, 2026 requires consultation, awareness, training, and collaboration rather than sudden enforcement.
Apartment communities in Bengaluru have been active partners in waste segregation, composting, recycling, and sustainable waste management since 2015 and they should be supported through guidance and stakeholder engagement.
@BAFBLR extends its support to BSWML, @CPCB_OFFICIAL , @karnatakakspcb , and the Government of Karnataka for successful implementation of the new rules for sustainable living . However,
- Awareness and training programmes on CPCB portal
- Registration and BWGs compliance
- Implementation guidelines
- Publication of FAQs
are the need of the hour.
A reasonable transition time, a dedicated helpdesk to support BWGs at BSWML / @Chairman_KSPCB etc and engage with stakeholders before initiating any system-process change is the least that citizens expect.
It is most unfortunate that our systems start with threats and Danda (ದಂಡ, दंड, penal action) as the starting point of a system-process change.
TODAY most of Thousands of apartment associations have been served a 3 (three) days by @BSWML_GBA to register with CPCB portal, a portal that was launched just few weeks ago!
Such a short timeline is impractical and inconsistent with principles of fair implementation by @BSWML_GBA and we are sure @krishnabgowda@KBGBlrDevUpdate will take note of this unfair practice by an agency appointed by GBA.
