*Panel recommends suggestions on new delimitation of Palike wards*

BENGALURU:The state Cabinet on Thursday ended the uncertainty over the
division of the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) by deciding to
trifurcate the civic body.

“The decision was taken in accordance with the recommendation of the
committee headed by former chief secretary B S Patil, which was constituted
to suggest structural changes to the BBMP to make the city administration
more responsive and accountable,” sources in the Cabinet said after the
meeting here.

The committee has also presented its suggestions on the new delimitation of
wards for more local bodies for the city.

The number of wards in each civic body and other aspects would be decided
after further deliberations, sources said.

The state government would submit an affidavit conveying the decision to
the Karnataka High Court, which is hearing a petition on the proposed
division of BBMP.

As far as the proposal to supersede the BBMP is concerned, the state
government has already issued a show-cause notice to the commissioner and
all the corporators of the BBMP in this regard, sources added.
