GBA has launched the Greener Bengaluru Campaign, a community-driven tree plantation initiative to build a greener, healthier Bengaluru.
🌱 Resident Welfare Associations and community groups can identify suitable locations for tree planting in their neighbourhoods. Our officials will inspect the sites and plant saplings in partnership with local residents. The campaign will run from 15 August to 15 September.
🌱 Citizens can request saplings or share planting locations before August 10th, at https://t.co/2tP0q3qmxw or by emailing [email protected].

🚻 Bengaluru's public toilet infrastructure needs urgent attention.
A B.PAC audit of 142 public toilets found:
❌ 26% non-functional
🚰 Water in only ~40% of functional toilets
💡 Only 56% adequately lit
♿ Just 9 toilets had ramps
🧼 No soap dispensers or dustbins
B.PAC has called for 1,000+ new public toilets, along with better maintenance, accessibility and accountability.
Public toilets are basic civic infrastructure not a luxury.

🛣️ NHAI Demolishes Encroachments on #Chennai–#Bengaluru Highway (NH-48) in Vellore
🚜 NHAI has launched a week-long demolition drive to clear illegal encroachments along a 2-km stretch of the NH-48 service lane near the Sathuvachari Collectorate in Vellore.
🛑 Commercial establishments, eateries, and roadside shops had extended their structures by up to 1.5 metres into the 7-metre-wide carriageway, creating bottlenecks that trapped government town buses and ambulances during peak hours.

Bengaluru's widening lead over Chennai in both cargo and passenger traffic is about much more than aviation infrastructure. These are powerful proxies for economic vitality. They signal stronger exports, higher investment, greater business travel, tourism and overall demand. Increasingly, also reflects Bengaluru's growing manufacturing base and integration into global supply chains. via @businessline
