During a press conference held at Vidhana Soudha following the cabinet meeting, D.K. Shivakumar elaborated on the decision. “Ramanagara will remain the district headquarters; only the name of the district has changed to Bangalore South. Previously, it was known as Bangalore district. This renaming has been undertaken to enhance administrative clarity, and I am pleased to share this update with you.”
He revealed that BWSSB, under the leadership of Chairman Dr. Ram Prasath Manohar, is drafting innovative strategies to cater to the growing needs of the city, including newly added 110 villages in the Greater Bengaluru region. Shivakumar added that the state government is discussing the possibility of expanding BBMP’s jurisdiction and forming new municipalities under Greater Bengaluru.
